From the author of the acclaimed bestseller Holes, winner of the Newbery Award and the National Book Award, comes Fuzzy Mud, a New York Times bestseller. 

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

网友对Fuzzy Mud的评论

I originally ordered this book because, as a middle school language arts teacher, I know my students have an affinity for Louis Sachar's novel Holes. Sachar is good at engaging young readers--male and female--with characters that feel real and situations that are interesting and unpredictable. I expected the story to be decent. I wasn't merely entertained, though; I was enthralled.

The story has three central characters--a "goody goody" named Tamaya, a bully named Chad, and the bullied Marshall. But this is not a story strictly about bullying, and it doesn't hit readers over the head with messages about being good and doing the right thing. The themes are there, though, blended with questions about science and morality that make this very short novel a very engaging read.

I read the book in one sitting, as Sachar does a brilliant job of building suspense and feeding the readers clues about "fuzzy mud" as the story progresses. The story is told by a third person narrator, but the voice is almost prophetic, asking readers to ponder the impacts of population growth, capitalism, science and morality without making judgments about the characters in the story. Sachar doesn't force his ideas on readers, but does an excellent job of encouraging inquiry into contemporary issues.

I know that this is a book my middle school students will enjoy. I'm planning a re-read to see if I can figure out how I might be able to incorporate it into my classroom, particularly as there are strong STEM connections to the story.

My views as an ELA teacher aside, I strongly recommend this book to both young and more mature readers. It's an awesome read.

Fuzzy Mud had just the right amount of character development and suspense to hold the interest of adults and children. The relationships between the characters were believable and current. Switching back and forth between the Senate hearings and the story gave perspective to the serious nature of the story's events.
I recommend this book for children in third grade and up, but middle school students will enjoy it.
