THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE FUZZY
SCROGGS, KIRK
Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012
Changing into a Muppet has really turned Danvers Blickensderfer's life upside down . . . literally! That's him
dangling above a toilet at the hands of Beebus Spracklin, the biggest thug in school. This creep is the Picasso of
insults, swirlys, and wedgies and Danvers is his canvas. Can Danvers balance being a caped crusader and a
tween crooner? Or, will the bully behemoth drive him out of his own school into the open wings of Sam Eagle's
Talent Academy? And what's with the mysterious green light at the edge of Custardcrust Swamp?

THE GREAT UNEXPECTED
CREECH, SHARON
In the town of Blackbird Tree live two orphan girls: one Naomi Deane, brimming with curiosity, and her best
friend, Lizzie Scatterding, who could talk the ears off a cornfield. Naomi has a knack for being around when
trouble happens. For she knows all the peculiar people in town—like Crazy Cora and Witch Wiggins and Mr.
Farley. But then, one day, a boy drops out of a tree. The strangely charming Finn boy. Then the Dingle Dangle
man appears, asking all kinds of questions. Curious surprises are revealed—three locked trunks, a pair of rooks,
a crooked bridge, and that boy. Meanwhile, on a grand estate across the ocean, an old lady whose heart has
been deceived concocts a plan. . . .
