My Pet Slime: Volume 1

Description: Piper Maclane wants a pet so badly, but she's allergic to everything. So she creates her own--out of slime! It has big eyes, a little mouth, and two arms just long enough for hugs. When a strange turn of events brings her slime to life, Piper learns how fun, challenging, and messy it can be to care for a pet--especially one made out of slime!
