Squish #2: Brave New Pond

What's The Story?

Squish book series book #2

According to Kirkus Reviews, the Squish series follows Squish, an ordinary amoeba navigating life in the microscopic world of Pond Scum Middle School. Between dealing with bullies, hanging out with his best friends Peggy (a happy paramecium) and Pod (a darkly philosophical microbe), and reading his favorite superhero comic Super Amoeba, Squish learns to handle everyday challenges while embracing his own strengths.

A witty and fun-filled series that blends science and humor seamlessly. With its relatable school scenarios and quirky characters, Squish is a perfect pick for reluctant readers and fans of Captain Underpants or Dog Man.

Ideal for:
Readers who enjoy humorous, fast-paced graphic novels with science-themed twists. Ideal for fans of Babymouse (by the same authors) or Lunch Lady by Jarrett J. Krosoczka.

Stylistic Features:
The series combines comic-style illustrations, lively dialogue, and a mix of silly humor with real science facts, offering an engaging and educational reading experience.
