INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Sachar, Louis

Fuzzy Mud

(2) 4-6 Tamaya (fifth grade) and Marshall (seventh) take a shortcut to evade bully Chad, and Tamaya develops a mysterious rash from slinging a handful of mud at Chad. Interspersed with this expert school survival drama are excerpts of testimony from "secret Senate hearings" about a microscopic manmade organism that escaped a laboratory. This exciting tale blends horror with sober consideration of ethics and science.
