Newbery Medal-winning Louis Sachar’s Fuzzy Mud is a compelling middle grade novel with well-grounded central characters caught in an eco-cautionary adventure. Tamaya and Marshall take an alternative route to school to avoid confrontation with a bully. Lost, they soon find trouble, bigger trouble than anyone could have imagined. What they uncover might affect the future of the world! Better suited for older middle graders, Fuzzy Mud is an imaginative and suspenseful story of the great lengths we’ll go to for friendship and family, the mishaps and breakthroughs that are made in the name of science, and the wonders of mud.
