Fuzzy Mud

Bloomsbury presents Fuzzy Mud by Louis Sachar, read by Kathleen McInerney


A funny, sinister and thought-provoking comic thriller from the multimillion-copy selling author of Holes.

If you go down to the woods today ... Well, every child knows NOT to, don't they?


Tamaya is on a scholarship to the prestigious Woodridge Academy and every day she and seventh-grader Marshall walk to school together. They never go through the woods.


When they arrive at school they stop talking to each other – because Marshall can't be seen to be friends with a little kid like Tamaya. Especially not with Chad around. Chad­the­bully, who makes Marshall's life utterly miserable. But today, hoping to avoid Chad, Marshall and Tamaya decide to go through the woods ... And what is waiting there for them is strange, sinister and entirely unexpected.


The town is about to be turned upside down by the mysterious Fuzzy Mud ...
