Synopsis "Stink and the Attack of the Slime Mold"

Aaagh! Crawl slowly for your lives! Stink kicks off his second decade with a super-funny homage to an oozy-goozy organism. Glip! Glop! Gloop! What looks like dog vomit, smells like a corpse flower, and stars in one of the scariest movies Stink Moody has ever seen? Is it the Blob? The Glob? Son of Glob? No, it's . . . slime mold! Stink may be a super science geek, but even Dr. Stinkelstein is feeling freaked out about having a slime mold living and growing in his very own room. At Saturday Science Club, Stink learns that these one-celled organisms are smart enough to find their way out of mazes and gang up on food sources -- so who says they aren't smart enough to take over Stink's pets, Stink's room, Stink himself, and . . . the world? Vintage horror flicks meet classic Star Trek episodes as a wary Stink (with some help from Dr. Judy Moody) comes to know and love an unusual new pet in a hilarious adventure that sneaks in factoids and comics at each chapter's end.

She was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in a house filled with books. She was the youngest of five sisters. Her father, who worked with iron for bridge construction, was a great storyteller. Every night, after dinner, the family spent a long time at the table where everyone talked about their day and told stories. With four older sisters, Megan McDonald could hardly get a word in, so she began to write. That's how her character Judy Moody was born.
