This book's graphic novel format makes it a good choice for reluctant readers, and kids do learn some science - including some facts about amoebas. Also, Squish reads Super Amoeba comic books, which have some good guy versus bad guy stuff. Later, the same bully is eaten by a slime mold. A mean bully does try to eat Squish's friend Peggy - but she is a paramecium, and something that amoebas eat.
