Pudge Amazon and the Ugly Ostrich - Paperback

by John Krause (Author), Nathalie Kranich (Illustrator)

Fun-loving fifth grader Pudge Amazon never shies away from a harmless prank. But when the principal unjustly accuses him of vandalizing the school's beloved Ostrich statue, Pudge is determined to hunt down the real culprit to clear his name and escape months of detention.

Aided by his two best friends, Pudge scours the neighborhood for clues and suspects. Their hilarious pursuits result in disaster! When Pudge is confronted with a punishment worse than detention, he must dig deep to discover the truth about the crime---and about himself.
