This book is about
A boy called Carl finds a newt in his friend's garden. It is covered in oil, so he takes it to the vet to get it cleaned. He takes the newt home.
Carl's mother buys some Gringle beans to make him grow, but he does not like them, so he secretly feeds them to his newt and his newt becomes enormous.
Carl invites Ben, a bully, to his house and shows him the gigantic newt. Ben faints when he sees the newt because he thinks it is a crocodile.
