Book review for Kathi Appelt's True Blue Scouts of Sugarman Swamp

This book was a challenge to read. Switching from character to character became confusing to a beginner reader. However, everything blended together in the end. This book had many "unspoken" clues, which allowed the reader to keep guessing until the end!

Lyle Lovett's narration was strangely lacking in dynamics, but it wasn't enough to throw off this sweet, thoughtful, funny middle-grade novel about a boy, a pair of young raccoons, a rattlesnake named Gertrude, a mythical beast, a stack of sugar pies, and a stampede of feral hogs (yes, really). I love love loved the Sharon Creechesqueness of Appelt's "Maybe a Fox," and this wasn't that, but I can't wait to read more of her books.
