Frankenslime by Joy Keller (07/13/21)
Victoria Franken is a slime scientist. Her experiments lead to amazing slimes. Until, one dark and stormy night, her latest experiment goes awry and her newest creation COMES TO LIFE! This picture book twist on horror movies also explores the scientific method and the importance of recording observations and results. If the story inspires you to make your own slime, you’ll want to take a look at Super Slime by Sophie Parkes and Ultimate Slime by Alyssa Jagan.
