1-3Olive & Beatrix series.
A new chapter-book series features twins Olive, who's into science, and Beatrix, a witch. In Not-So-Itty-Bitty, Beatrix casts a spell that makes average-size spiders giant. In Moldy Blob, the twins' competing science fair projects release a ravenous slime blob in school. By combining their talents, the sisters save the day. Heavily illustrated with cartoon art, these two installments are slight but entertaining. Review covers these Olive & Beatrix titles: The Not-So Itty-Bitty Spiders and The Super-Smelly Moldy Blob.
