Fuzzy mud - Louis Sachar

From the author of the
acclaimed bestseller Holes, winner
of the Newbery Award and the National Book Award, comes a New York Times bestselling adventure
about the impact we have-both good and bad-on the world we live in.



Be careful. Your next step may be your last.


Fifth grader Tamaya Dhilwaddi and seventh grader Marshall Walsh have
been walking to and from Woodridge Academy together since elementary school.
But their routine is disrupted when bully Chad Hilligas challenges Marshall
to a fight. To avoid the conflict, Marshall takes a shortcut home through the
off-limits woods. Tamaya, unaware of the reason for the detour, reluctantly
follows. They soon get lost. And then they find trouble. Bigger trouble than
anyone could ever have imagined.


In the days and weeks that follow, the authorities and the U.S.
Senate become involved, and what they uncover might affect the future of the
world.


"Sachar blends elements of mystery, suspense, and school-day
life into a taut environmental cautionary tale."--Publishers Weekly
