The True Blue Scouts of Sugar Man Swamp, Kathy Appelt. Bingo and J'miah, the newest raccoon Sugar Man Swamp Scouts, are out to find the Sugar Man to save their homeland from impending doom - hogs. Chap, a young boy, is out to do the same thing because Jaeger Stitch has sights on turning the swamp into the Alligator World Wrestling Arena and Theme Park. Although they don't know it, the raccoons and Chap are on the same mission - to save the swamp. Chap has no chance against Stitch and his money wallet and Bingo and J'miah are desperately trying to stay ahead of the loud and getting louder rumbling. This sweet story was a National Book Award Finalist. Many characters, human and animal, and story lines may be confusing for some readers. Chapters are very short, sometimes a half a page, and they alternate between story lines. The author brings it all together with a satisfying, sweet ending. This might be easier to share as a read aloud and keeping track of the different characters as a reference.
