The True Blue Scouts of Sugar Man Swamp

(2) 4-6 A gang of feral hogs is thundering toward Bayou Tourterelle, delirious at the prospect of wild sugarcane; raccoon Swamp Scouts Bingo and J'miah are ready for them. A human drama unfolds, too, as Chap Brayburn and his mother try to save the bayou from being turned into a theme park. Appelt's folksy romp includes a multitude of oddball characters--and a touch of magic.
