Synopsis "Fuzzy mud "

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. And 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. Chad-the-bully, 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 next day, Chad doesn't turn up at school - no one knows where he is, not even his family. And Tamaya's arm is covered in a horribly, burning, itchy wound. As two unlikely heroes set out to rescue their bully, the town is about to be turned upside down by the mysterious Fuzzy Mud ... A funny, sinister and thought-provoking comic thriller from the multimillion-copy selling author of Holes and There's a Boy in the Girls' Bathroom.

Louis Sachar was born on March 20, 1954 in New York. While he was in the School of Economics, he accidentally taught some classes at a school. There, he discovered two things: he enjoyed teaching and he did not like the books the kids had to read. This developed the seed of a writer in him, which over time he was able to and knew how to put into practice. He finished Economics and began to study Law. Meanwhile, he made some forays into children's and youth literature. He definitively rose to fame in 1998 with his book "Holes", for which he received the National Award for Youth Literature and the Newbery Medal, the highest award given to an author of children's and youth literature in the United States. After this, he was able to leave the legal profession and dedicate himself to what he really liked: writing. In 2003, "Holes" was made into a movie: "Holes, the curse of the holes", where he himself took care of the screenplay.
