This
is the second book in the Zoey and Sassafras series..
Ever
since Zoey and her cat, Sassafras, helped a baby dragon she named Marshmallow,
she has been waiting for the magic doorbell to ring. In the meantime, Zoey is
experimenting with mold, how it grows in various conditions.
It’s
the perfect setup when the doorbell finally rings. Poor Gorp has an
embarrassing problem: his fur is moldy. He’s tried everything he knows to do
and has taken all the advice he’s been giving, but nothing works. He’s heard
the stories in the forest that Zoey can cure so he has come to her for help.
In
addition to the moldy fur, which is a source of bullying from other forest
creatures, the annual Monster Ball is in just a few days. Gorp has never been,
but he wants so badly to go. Sassafras reminds Zoey to put on her Thinking googles
and try to help him.
Using
scientific methods to conduct and collect the data, Zoey does her best to help
Gorp.
There
seemed to be a lot more science in this episode than in the first one. The book
is geared toward ages 6-10 in grades 1-5. I worried that may be it was a little
too advanced, so that is why Zoey &
Sassafras: Monsters and Mold receives 4 out of 5 stars
in Julie’s world.
