Summary

Aaagh! Crawl slowly for your lives! Stink kicks off his second decade with a super-funny homage to an oozy-goozy organism.

Glip! Glop! Gloop! 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 growing 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 Star Trek 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.

School Library Journal Review

Gr 2-4-Stink and his big sister, Judy Moody, are back in another adventure. Stink is excited about science and horror movies, which might be an unfortunate combination. His imagination comes into play when he starts growing slime mold as part of a science class. Is his new pet going to take over his bedroom? The house? The world? This amusing romp is performed with great enthusiasm by Amy Rubinate, who creates unique voices for the characters and joyfully carries listeners along on a bouncy flight of fancy. Fans of the series will giggle at the hyperbole and laugh at Stink's relationships with his friends, his sibling, and his new pet slime mold. VERDICT This delightful production should please the target audience.-Teresa Bateman, Brigadoon Elementary, Federal Way, WA © Copyright 2016.
