Ooze is It? Michael Dahl

Publisher Marketing: A group of friends is driving to a private lake for nighttime fishing when a meteor impacts nearby. Meteors can bring thousands of dollars to those lucky enough to find them--after all, they're just oozing with valuable minerals. But this one is oozing with something else, too--something from the darkest corners of space. Listen up as Professor Igor shares his favorite tale of extraterrestrial terror! This series of hi-lo books is sure to grab the attention of any reluctant reader--and refuse to let go until the final page. Each book includes discussion and writing questions, a glossary, and educational back matter.
