Bookroo's summary

Squish, the comic-loving amoeba, faces a puzzling challenge when his friend Pod starts behaving erratically—dancing one moment, crying the next. Could the mysterious process of mitosis be causing Pod's split personality? As Squish navigates this blobby dilemma, he must uncover the truth behind Pod's transformation. Will the real Pod stand up, or is it truly Pod vs. Pod? Dive into this quirky adventure filled with humor, science, and unexpected twists. Plus, discover how to draw your favorite characters and try a fun science experiment at home!

From the publisher

Now an animated show streaming on HBO Max! From the New York Times bestselling, Eisner-winning creators of Babymouse, it’s green . . . it’s blobby . . . it’s gross . . . it’s SQUISH(!), a comic-book-loving amoeba whose adventures are perfect for fans of Dog Man, Captain Underpants, and My Weird School. Uh-oh! Squish’s friend Pod just hasn’t been himself lately. One minute he’s happy-dancing; the next he’s sobbing in his soup. What’s going on? (Hint: “mitosis” is the process that splits single-celled organisms. That’s right, splits.) It is truly Pod vs. Pod–and may the best Pod, umm, win? BONUS: Look in the back to find out how to draw one of the Squish characters and to get instructions for a SENSATIONAL science experiment you can do at home! SHAZAM! Praise for Squish: * “Hilarious. If ever a new series deserved to go viral, this one does.” –Kirkus Reviews, Starred “An energetic, good-hearted escapade, one that young readers will enjoy.” –The New York Times “Simple enough for early readers but still remarkably snarky, clever, and entertaining.” –The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
