Professor Adams makes an adorable mutant critter: a pet alligator crossed with a few dog breeds to make it fluffy and friendly. Everyone else in town is scared of the pal-igator, so Chloe and Professor Adams try to show that their new pet is completely harmless. Unfortunately, an accident at the dog park proves otherwise.
Chloe is helping Professor Adams at her secret underwater lab when she gets a chance to splice her own creature. She wants to make sea monkeys easier to see by making them bright green. But Chloe ends up with a lot more pea monkeys than she can handle. Hundreds of them.
While Professor Adams is out doing errands, Chloe is asked to give the professor's pet, Buddy, a bath. But Buddy is no ordinary pet. He's an electric seal, a unique creature the professor spliced together. Chloe has to figure out a way to bathe a playful but electrifying animal so she doesn't get zapped!
It's Chloe's first day of her summer job as a lab assistant for Professor Adams, who might be a somewhat mad scientist. Chloe has to help take care of Venus flytrap mutants, including what Professor Adams calls a Mean-us Flytrap, a giant three-headed creature that's very hungry.
Risk and reward. Cost and choice. The Stars of Ara--Namu and Hye--have learned the truth about magic and are ready to face their destinies. The time has come to merge science with magic. If they're successful, everyone will benefit. Fail, though…and it could be all over.
Chloe and Professor Adams find a rattlesnake about to gobble up a mouse outside the professor's house. Then Chloe gets an idea: why not splice the snake with Essence of Cattle to make it friendlier? After the mutation is complete, Chloe and the professor have a cute but gargantuan cattlesnake problem on their hands. DO.
Chloe spends a day off with her dad, but she unexpectedly comes across Professor Adams's latest creation. Hundreds of crawfish, armed with pencils and paintbrushes, swarm downtown and give it an artistic makeover. But the mayor isn't happy about another incident with the professor's mutants, and he threatens to shut down the experiments for good.
Hye and Namu know the truth--now it's time to make a choice. Will they risk everything to change the magic system, or be defeated before they even begin? Not everyone supports their movement, and there are even some who would do anything to stop it.
A seat at the Ara School of Magic is all Namu's--that is, if she can get there on time. When their carriage breaks down, Hye and Namu are left to fend for themselves. Can they find common ground and work together as teammates, or are both headed home?
Namu and Hye have arrived at the Ara School of Magic. But they have more questions and no answers. There is more to magic than they could ever have imagined. The ability to hurt, heal, and help comes with a price--and someone must pay.
Namu wanted to learn magic to help others. But there may be more to it than meets the eye--and Hye's missing brother, Ki, may be the secret to unlock it all. Can a balance be struck between science and magic, or will the scales tip forever?
The biggest day of the year has arrived--the test to get into the Ara School of Magic. Namu has dreamed of being accepted. Alongside Hye, her sometimes-nemesis (and much cooler schoolmate), Namu seeks to prove that she has what it takes to be the next rising Star of Ara.
