It Came from the Creek (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781546158561)

From the award-winning author of ATTACK OF THE BLACK RECTANGLES, a novel about standing up to bullies -- whether they're kids or adults.

There's something in the water. It smells really bad. It's a strange color. And it's making people sick.

Katy and her best friend Joel can tell something is going wrong in their town. They decide to document it, trying to solve the mystery of what's going on. Someone is dumping toxic waste in places it shouldn't go... and even when he's told to stop, he goes ahead and keeps dumping it anyway.

Both in school and outside of it, Kate and Joel are learning that bullies do what they do because they think they can get away with it, because they think they're bigger than the rules. There has to be a way to make them stop... but it just might take a whole town coming together in order to do it.
