 This eighth installment of the Squish series has some flawed logic. If the amoeba can split using mitosis, then why aren't they dividing all the time? What stimuli causes this to occur and why are the replicas of Pod not exact personality matches as well? What exactly does Pod do to eliminate his extra selves, and why don't they check the locker? 
 Another graphic novel series by the Holm siblings, aimed at chapter book readers, but the Squish series doesn't have the magic of the Babymouse books. All the characters in this series are microorganisms. The color scheme is black, white, and green, since this series targets boys. Squish, an amoeba, loves comic books, especially his favorite superhero, Super Amoeba. It's a strength of this series, and a tribute to the power of literature in children's lives (yes, comic books are children's literature, too), that the issue of Super Amoeba that Squish is reading parallels whatever is going on in Squish's own life. As in the Babymouse series, there is an off-screen narrator who comments on what is happening in the Squish books.
