Stink and the Attack of the Slime Mold -- Megan McDonald

<b><i>Aaagh </i>Crawl slowly for your lives Stink kicks off his second decade with a super-funny homage to an oozy-goozy organism.</b> <p/><i>Glip Glop Gloop </i>What looks like dog vomit, smells like a corpse flower, and stars in one of the scariest movies Stink Moody has ever seen? Is it the Blob? The Glob? Son of Glob? No, it's . . . slime mold Stink may be a super science geek, but even Dr. Stinkelstein is feeling freaked out about having a slime mold living and <i>growing </i>in his very own room. At Saturday Science Club, Stink learns that these one-celled organisms are smart enough to find their way out of mazes and gang up on food sources -- so who says they aren't smart enough to take over Stink's pets, Stink's room, Stink himself, and . . . the world? Vintage horror flicks meet classic <i>Star Trek</i> episodes as a wary Stink (with some help from Dr. Judy Moody) comes to know and love an unusual new pet in a hilarious adventure that sneaks in factoids and comics at each chapter's end.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Megan McDonald<br><b>Publisher:</b> Candlewick Press (MA)<br><b>Published:</b> 03/09/2021<br><b>Pages:</b> 144<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.25lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 7.30h x 5.40w x 0.70d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9781536213867<br><b>Audience:</b> Ages 4-8<br><br><b>Accelerated Reader:</b><br><b>Reading Level:</b> 3.6<br><b>Point Value:</b> 1<br><b>Interest Level:</b> Lower Grade<br><b>Quiz #/Name: </b>181380 / Stink and the Attack of the Slime
