Meet Bingo and J’miah. They are going to save their beloved Sugar Man Swamp from a gator wrestler determined to turn it into an alligator-and-pony show AND from a herd of feral hogs, and they are going to discover ART on the way. For they are Scouts. They are best brothers. They are raccoons on a mission!
The True Blue Scouts of Sugar Man Swamp is the newest from Kathi Appelt, author of The Underneath, which was a Newbery Honor Book and a National Book Award finalist. Sugar Man is for a slightly younger audience than Kathi’s previous novels–and is seriously funny! Laugh-out-loud-in-the-middle-of-class-reading-time funny. And it’s a sensational read aloud. It has already received amazing acclaim with 3 starred reviews! (Kirkus, Booklist, and Publisher’s Weekly.) It pubs next month on July 23!
