First of the series by Jennifer Holm and Matthew Holm. New York, NY: Random House Books for Young Readers, 2011
A series about amoeba, pond scum, Principal Planaria, and other wonderfully quirky single-celled kids who navigate through school and summer challenges in their not-so-microscopic world.
It is loads of fun and received starred review from Kirkus Reviews.
