Summary of Contents: Each issue starts out with a Dear Reader page that contains an assortment of topics. One issue contains humorous poems about germs, another criticizes the "Taxonomy of Tiny Things." Another page contains a mystery quote of the month. The topics in each issue vary greatly, and it calls itself "The magazine of life, the universe, and pie throwing." I find that most of the issues deal with science topics.
It also contains a feature article in each issue. One issue had a story about children going hungry, another two true spooky tales. There are also various comics throughout the magazine.
Towards the back of the magazine is muse mail-submissions and responses. There is also a two page layout in the back of each issue that shows the contest winners from the previous issue's contest. They sponsor both art and writing contests. The back page of each issue advertises books or kits that readers might be interested in purchasing. Overall the magazine is quite random and I can definitely see the appeal for tweens.
