The Attack of the Plants

When the class visits the Galápagos Islands aboard the Magic School Bus, Arnold is surprised to find a new teacher—Miss Fiona Frizzle—after Ms. Frizzle retires. But an innocent field trip doesn’t go as planned when invasive rabbits begin overrunning the islands. As plant life mutates and ecosystems shift, the students and bus must use science and quick thinking to restore balance—and Arnold learns to trust the new Frizzle.

This imaginative story combines fact and fun: lively dialogue, kid-friendly science facts, and botanical details about invasive species and ecosystem interactions. It also includes a clear “Science vs. Story” section at the end that explains which parts are accurate and which are creative
