In the sixth book, an earthquake shakes Zoey's house. Or maybe it's a
unicorn-quake? An enormous new friend arrives in a lot of pain, and it's
getting worse every day. Zoey must work with her mom and Sassafras to
find a cure -- and quickly!
Each story in the Zoey and Sassafras series features a new magical
animal with a problem that must be solved using science. There isn't a
set formula for each book; Zoey sometimes needs to run experiments,
while other times she needs to investigate a mystery, and yet other
times she needs to do research. Zoey models how to keep a science
journal through her handwritten entries in each story. Each story is
complete with a glossary of the kid-friendly definitions for scientific
terms used. The series highlights child-led inquiry science and the
topics covered align with both Common Core and Next Generation Science
Standards.
