Fuzzy Mud edition by Louis Sachar Children eBooks

“Fuzzy Mud,” by Newbery-Medal-winning author Louis Sachar, is an exciting ecological thriller for kids ten and older. It’s mostly a serious drama, but the book is also laced with just the right amount of quirky humor to offset the tension, suspense, and terror.

The book is noteworthy because of the complex set of serious social, scientific, political, and moral issues it touches upon as literary themes. Mostly, the book deals with the dangers of genetically modified organisms. But it also spurs thought about world overpopulation, the worldwide need for alternative energy sources, the occasional failure of government oversight of scientific development, and the frequent real-world need to have to make difficult decisions between two or more negative outcomes.

As an adult reader, I found it fascinating to see how Sachar deftly handles these complex themes in a delightful, scary, and simple plot that makes the whole not only appropriate and interesting for children, but also just plain fun to read.

The story has three main characters: an exceptionally bright fifth-grade girl and two troubled seventh-grade boys. They all attend Woodridge Academy, an elite private school in the beautiful woodlands of Pennsylvania. The school is a combined elementary and middle school. It’s small, so it’s the type of school where everybody knows everybody…sort of like a big family. But unfortunately, it’s still possible in a small school like that for a kid to sit alone at lunch and always get picked on by the school bully with nobody doing anything to help.

Woodridge is located at the edge of a forest. All the school kids are forbidden to go into the woods. They are warned how easy it might be for them to get lost, fall into a ravine, or get attacked by a wild animal. And they all love to tell scary stories to each other about the crazy hermit who is rumored to live there.

Tamaya Dhilwaddi is an exceptionally smart fifth grader. And, as we learn later, she’s also very brave, loyal, and kind. She’s attending Woodridge on full scholarship. Marshall Walsh and Chad Hilligas are both outcast seventh graders. Marshall’s a pathetic kid, the type with no friends who eats alone at lunch and feels like his life is cursed. In Marshall’s case, his life is cursed because Chad, the school bully, has targeted him for daily humiliation. Chad is an outcast, too. Nobody likes a bully. He’s attending Woodridge because he’s been kicked out of his last three schools. If his parents didn’t pay to send him to Woodridge, his only other option would be to attend school in a juvenile detention facility.

These three kids end up being at the center of a worldwide ecological disaster involving a very dangerous mutated strain of a beneficial genetically modified organism. The single-celled organism was created from a DNA-modified strain of slime mold at a secluded scientific laboratory, euphemistically called SunRay Farm. The lab is located on the other side of the woods about thirty miles from Woodridge Academy. After mutating, the organism escaped and is now living in the woods near the school. The organism was designed as an inexpensive inexhaustible energy source, but in its mutated state, it’s a devastating threat to all other living organisms.

“Fuzzy Mud” is a fun scary story with a lot of heart and a lot of unexpected plot twists; it’s also full of sympathetic and realistic characters. The book promotes good moral values for individuals and governments. It also encouraged kids to think about important contemporary social issues and perhaps to ask their parents and teachers for more information about those subjects. This book should appeal to bright, science-minded kids as well as to the “outsider kid” in just about everyone.

Fuzzy Mud edition by Louis Sachar Children eBooks Reviews

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.
Review from a 10-year-old girl I loved this book! A girl called Tamaya and his walk-home buddy, Marshall, go in the woods one day to avoid the school bully, Chad. In the forest, they encounter the odd-looking fuzzy mud. I loved how there were little additions in the book that helped tell the story. For example, there were secret senate interviews and random powers of two. Throughout the book, each of those add-ons would piece together. The book was also very suspenseful and action-packed; the type of novel I really like. I would recommend this book to people of all ages who are interested in science and are looking for a good book to read.
Fans of Holes and Louis Sachar will love his latest work, Fuzzy Mud. Deep in a secluded forest in Pennsylvania, near a small private school called Woodridge Academy. There’s something strange going on in the woods, and no one seems to be aware – or even know that something has happened. Only when some of the school’s students get lost in the woods, does anyone know that something is going on. And at that point, it’s already too late. This is a thriller, centered around a biohazard that seems impossible to contain.

In between the chapters are excerpts fron secret Senate hearings. In these hearings, a scientist disccuses his experimentation and development of an alternative fuel. The experimentation phase had been kept secret from the government, and basically from anyone outside the top-secret project. The project began at SunRay Farm, which was a few miles away from Woodridge Academy. Most of the students and the residents of the area didn’t know about the farm. They would soon find out though.

The “fuzzy mud” is a byproduct of the experimentation taking place in the lab on that farm. The mud is discovered when friends Tamaya and Marshall decide to take a shortcut through the woods on their way home from school. Marshall wants to take this shortcut after being confronted and challenged by class bully Chad. Instead of avoiding him, Chad follows them into the woods. There they encounter each other, and the biohazardous material.

Called biolene, it was developed by scientists as an alternative energy source. It sounds promising, though no one seems to know it’s true potential. One of the scientists who spoke at the Senate hearing warned against using the substance, predicting that it could be potentially dangerous. He actually called it “an abomination of nature”. Instead of a clean energy source, he describes it as a high-energy bacteria, a new form of life, a substance that continues to reproduce at a very rapid rate. This makes the substance almost impossible to control.

I love this story, once the kids encounter the mud in the woods, it was really hard to put down. It’s a reminder to us, and kids, that there are consequences and potential side effects. I’m sure there are many places like Sun Farm, which makes this story even more believable. I know I’m staying out of the woods!!
