The book I read was Fuzzy Mud by Louis Sachar. This book is 208 pages long. Another book by Louis is Holes. If you like mysteries then you will like Fuzzy Mud. My favorite character is chad because he started the entire book with lasagna.
Imagine if your skin is beginning to be eaten away. Well this is the case for Chad and Tamaya. One day Tamaya follows Marshall into the woods. Marshall says that they are not lost, but Tamaya is not so sure. Then they see a hill with someone on it. Chad, the school bully. Then Tamaya glances down and notices… fuzzy mud. Will Tamaya and Chad be able to cure the horrors of the fuzzy mud? Find out in the adventure of a lifetime, Fuzzy Mud.
