2010-2011 Texas Bluebonnet Award

Paulsen, Gary. (2009). Mudshark. Random House of Canada.


Poor Principal Wagner! One crisis after another keeps coming his way! First, the staff bathroom issue, then this crazy parrot, and now every eraser in the school is MISSING!! Luckily, Mudshark is known to be a good detective and find missing things, he is after all the brother of triplet sisters!

I love how each chapter begins with the Principal making crazy announcements over the PA system. I kept looking forward to the beginning of each chapter to see what he would say next. Kids will love this book as they can imagine what it would be like to be in a school that was out of control and very chaotic.
