Yeah, the faculty restroom and that weird parrot in the library.
This was a fun (and short) book my almost-seven-year-old and I just finished. It actually reminded me of the television show Psych, but for grade-schoolers. Mudshark is the name of the main character (okay, nickname) who has a real eye for detail and thus is often asked to solve certain school mysteries. Good stuff.
Oh, and the opening is a perfect way to draw in the target audience. :)
OMG! I'm bursting my gut laughing here...what an image comes to mind. Poor gerbil!

Oh my goodness! What a beginning! And that cover is hilarious when you try to put it with the title. This one sounds like a lot of fun.

Odd sentence, but I bet it makes for a great story.
ReplyDeleteThanks for participating!
Fabolous beginning! I want a parrot in my library too, or maybe I just want to read about it. And what's a Mudshark???
