THE CONTAGIOUS COLORS OF MUMPLEY MIDDLE SCHOOL
By Fowler DeWitt
In Stores September 3, 2013
For ages 7 and up
About the book
If there’s one important thing Wilmer Dooley’s dad always says, it’s this: “Where are my car keys?”
Okay, maybe not that. He also says: “Observe!”
Wilmer has always known that the greatest science comes from the keenest observations. So when he observes his classmates looking a little green…and orange…and chartreuse-fuchsia polka-dotted…he knows that it’s up to him to find the cause of this mysterious illness—and the cure.
But with his arch nemesis, Claudius Dill, hot on his heels; the eagle-eyed biology teacher, Mrs. Padgett, determined to thwart his plans; and a host of fluorescent classmates bouncing off the walls at increasingly dangerous speeds, can Wilmer prove he has what it takes to save the sixth grade from a colorful demise before it’s too late?
______________________________________________________________________________________
This colorful calamity creates quite a conundrum and I’m quite certain that kids in the targeted age group, especially boys, will find this book both engaging and hilarious. Mischief and mayhem abound on its pages. And if any of you are already starting to think of holiday gifts this would make a fun Christmas present.
