Fuzzy Mud

I did like the underlying story which I felt was about science to help humans ends up hurting humans. I did like that Tamaya felt true to herself and tried to be who she was but was confused because she is at that stage in life where you're not sure if being true to who you are as a person is for the best socially and it's confusing. I feel if Sachar had just focused more on Tamaya this would have been a better book for middle grade, but as it is I don't think the characters or the story are enough to REALLY grab that age range's attention. Over all it was an okay story but I'm not sure if I'd suggest it as a must read.
