Victoria is determined to experiment and create a fantastic brand-new slime. What she gets, however, is way more than she bargained for. 

Belote’s illustrations are adorable and a lot of fun to examine – lots of entertaining antics and silliness. The story, however, fell flat for me. It was actually too whacky for me lean into and enjoy.
