ASK Magazine July-August 2022. Sun, sand, volcanoes, giant lizards—what is it really like to live on an island?
How can you tell what an island is and is not? An island “is-land.” The ocean “is-not land.”
All jokes aside, this enticing edition of ASK Magazine looks at islands: how we got them, what they’re made of, where they exist, and who or what inhabits them. You’ll visit the Caribbean, the Galápagos, Australia and New Zealand, Madagascar, Komodo island, the Cook Islands, and many, many more—all in one magazine. Plus, you’ll learn a simple and fun magic trick, take an island quiz, and decide for yourself if Atlantis was history or mythology.
Enjoy features including:
· How to Make an Island
· My Island Home by Jose Alison Kentish
· Wild Islands by Gail Apagos
· Lost Atlantis by Plato
· Eyes on the Tide by Judy Walker

Make room for mushrooms! This educational edition of ASK Magazine puts the FUN in Fungi. There’s no need to forage for fascinating facts – you’ll mush to learn on every page.
Find out what a mycologist does, how we find mushrooms, and what fungi are safe to eat as you follow along with a foraging family. Learn what fungi are: mushrooms, molds, lichens, yeasts, and mildews—and what they are not: animals or plants, and how you can tell the difference between the various kinds. Discover truffles, which are different from the fancy and expensive chocolate confections you might know by that name. These are a fancier and far more expensive type of rare mushroom. And examine some of your favorite flavors and learn how fungi often plays an important part. All this, and more mushy stuff including illuminating illustrations, fun facts, cool comics, and super stories.
