An exciting story of school life, friends, and bullies that becomes a quick meditation on the promise and dangers of modern science
Kirkus
Sachar blends elements of mystery, suspense, and school-day life into a taut environmental cautionary tale about the insatiable hunger for energy sources and the cost of not doing the right thing
Publishers Weekly
But most of all, it's a great story, skillfully told. Readers will relate to Tamaya and Marshall straightaway and race through a tense plot for the denouement. It's quite a slim volume, <i>Fuzzy Mud</i>, but it packs a punch
The Bookbag
There’s no doubt that Louis Sachar, the Newbery Medal-winning author of <i>Holes</i>, knows how to draw in his readers. His latest book, Fuzzy Mud, reads like a middle school version of <i>Contagion - </i>it’s a thriller that will have readers quickly turning its pages
