The Creeping Sludge

Arthur "Artie" MacArthur is a tenacious twelve-year-old with good detective instincts, somewhat questionable judgment, and two very good friends: Jenny Adams-tofu-eating and quick-witted, with a large dose of common sense and a sarcastic wit; and Sam Franklin-bologna-eating, sports-loving, mystery-hating, but always there in a pinch. From Artie and Sam's outrageous sandwich-making contests (the sight and smell of which makes Jenny nauseous), to the danger that lurks around every corner once Artie and his friends decide to solve a case, the humor and excitement is nonstop.

In The Creeping Sludge Artie and his friends go up against the Krag Chemical Company who, they suspect, is polluting the river. They run across two crooks, nicknamed "Ham and Cheese," and try to discover why their science teacher-who was leading the charge against the chemical company-has gone missing. In the process, they discover that they are in a race against time to stop Krag before it's too late
