When a new student named Butch Pounder arrives at school, Hubie imagines wild rumors about him being a dangerous bully.

Quick Summary

Mr. Hyde, the wackiest science teacher ever, turns ordinary slime-making into a gooey, ghoulish adventure that kids cannot put down. The classroom chaos, the icky experiments, and Hubie's surprise results keep pages turning while learning basic science concepts without even realizing it. If your kid loves the silly science of "The Magic School Bus" or gross-out humor like "Captain Underpants," they'll be obsessed with this slimy tale. Perfect for kids in kindergarten through third grade who love humor, science, and a little bit of the icky.
