Oh no! There’s a big problem with the forest roses...magical roses that are very important because they are the first food for newborn hippogriffs. Can Zoey, Pip, and Sassafras use their science know-how to fix the magical roses before the hippogriff eggs hatch?

I can say without a doubt that Zoey and Sasafrass is one of the best series for young readers I have come across thus far. It has creative story and well executed performance that encourage creative thinking, perseverance and science while still having magical creatures that stimulate the imagination. Unlike so many other children's books, I appreciate that the main character in the story, while having some independence, let's her mother know what is going on (rather than doing everything in secret) and uses logic to come up with solutions. The story lines captivated my 5 and 6 year old little girls and is already a favourite. Don't hesitate- purchase this series right away!

Follow the adventures of Zoey and her cat, Sassafras, with this collection of books one to six in the series. Each story features a new magical animal with a problem that must be solved using science. There isn’t a set formula for each book; Zoey sometimes needs to run experiments, while other times she needs to investigate a mystery, and yet other times she needs to do research. Zoey models how to keep a science journal through her handwritten entries in each story.

As someone who has purchased thousands of books for school libraries in East Africa, I can say without a doubt that Zoey and Sasafrass is one of the best series for young readers I have come across thus far. It has creative story lines that encourage creative thinking, perseverance and science while still having magical creatures that stimulate the imagination.
