Their next assignment? Identify the smallest producers and consumers of the ocean.But when a giant whale approaches the SKWID, mistaking it for an actual squid, the students must use their trusted scientific handbooks to find a way to escape the submarine and return to the undersea lab–before they become the whale’s lunch!Don’t miss more from the Mad Scientist Academy series!–The Dinosaur Disaster, The Weather Disaster, and The Space Disaster.“Dr. Cosmic is plainly a colleague of Ms. Frizzle [of The Magic School Bus], and the mix of pithy banter, tumultuous field-trip mishaps, and science fact is as familiar as it is winning.
