Do you have a child or grandchild going into Middle School this year? If so you might be interested in a book that will be released on September 3, 2013 called Contagious Colors of Mumpley Middle School. It’s written by Fowler DeWitt. It looks like a fun book that any middle schooler (boy or girl) might enjoy (it’s written for ages 7+).
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?
Check out the brief video about the book. It’s actually kind of funny. 🙂
