When Olga crosses paths with a weird creature and becomes the first kid to discover the species olgamus ridiculus , she is ecstatic! What does an olgamus eat? How does it poop? Why does its burp sound like the word rubber ? With her trusty observation notebook and the help of a librarian, a shopkeeper, and some friends, Olga sets out to do science—learning the facts about her smelly, almost-furry pal and searching for him when he goes missing. The scientific method is the best way to discover anything!
