It's a brand new school year and Squish is ready to turn over a new leaf and start fresh. Some stuff stays the same but the new stuff comes with a price. The question is whether Squish is willing to pay it. A common story that will probably never go away.

Jennifer L. Holm, Squish, vol. 2: Brave New Pond (Random House, 2011)

I was a pretty big fan of Super Amoeba!, the first Squish book, so it was a foregone conclusion I'd be picking up vol. 2. Unfortunately, life got in the way, and it took me over a year after its release to get around to it. This one is almost as much fun as the first, though the Holms decided to go a little lighter on the science in this volume (I thought that to its detriment, your mileage may vary) and spend a little more time on the social aspects of the characters. It's still a quick, fun read, and I can still heartily recommend this series. Now I've gotta get caught up myself... *** ½
