Magic School Bus Rides Again series.
Keesha is applying to astronaut camp, so a trip into space on the Magic School Bus to fix a satellite sounds perfect. Disaster strikes, though, when Keesha tries to take a selfie for her application and accidentally bumps the satellite out of orbit. The latest episode in the rebooted series offers early-chapter-book readers humorous adventure with a good dose of STEM education. Glos.

Magic School Bus Rides Again series.
Ms. Frizzle's younger sister, Fiona, has taken over the class and takes the familiar group of kids on an undersea adventure. They learn some fish biology as they elude sharks in individual fish-shaped submarine pods. Ample illustrations and a mix of humor and scientific information make this first entry in a new chapter-book series accessible to young readers. Glos.

Magic School Bus Rides Again series.
Teacher Fiona Frizzle takes her class on a camping trip via the magic school bus. Student Arnold's fear of monsters leads him to look for ways to power up lights in the woods. The kids explore renewable energy sources such as wind, water, and solar. Humor, scientific explanations, and frequent illustrations mean this second series installment should have plenty of appeal. Glos.
