1-3Squishy Taylor series.
Illustrated by
Ben Wood.
Squishy Taylor loves "weird stuff"--good thing there are plenty of weird goings-on in her apartment building. Each installment depicts Squishy and her "bonus sisters" attempting to solve a facile resident-related mystery. Moral conundrums (e.g., keeping secrets from parents, proving oneself to doubting adults) are lightly explored. The texts include generic spot art and random phrases in bold. Writing prompts and discussion questions appended. Glos. Review covers these Squishy Taylor titles: Squishy Taylor and a Question of Trust, Squishy Taylor and the Bonus Sisters, Squishy Taylor and the Tunnel of Doom, and Squishy Taylor in Zero Gravity.
