Bobby Ladue and the Swamp That's Taboo
In the small Southern town of Soggy Bottom, the rules are pretty simple. Ride your bike everywhere. Trade glass bottles for creamsicles from the ice cream truck. And whatever you do — stay away from Skinner's Swamp.
Bobby Ladue has followed that last rule his entire life.
Until now.
When a mysterious map turns up showing things it has no business showing, Bobby and his three best friends follow it straight into the swamp everyone warned them about. What they find there is stranger than any legend, bigger than any summer they've had before, and hidden right underneath a perfectly ordinary outhouse.
Some secrets have been waiting a long time for the right four boys to find them.
This is one of those secrets.
Bobby Ladue and the Critters That Chew
Something is eating the woods.
Not all at once. Just a branch here, a path there, a section of forest that looks like something went through it in the night with very strong teeth and absolutely no regrets. Bobby Ladue has seen strange things before. Whatever this is seems genuinely committed to the job.
The culprits aren't hard to find. They're small and fast and frankly kind of adorable and they are chewing through things that absolutely cannot be chewed through. They're not doing it to be difficult. They just can't seem to stop.
The only boy who can get close enough to do anything about it is the one who's supposed to be invisible.
Mickey Donnelly has one job. Stay still. Stay quiet.
He's working on it.

Bobby Ladue and the Swampling Crew
Something is flooding.
Not dramatically. Not all at once. Just water where water shouldn't be, paths turning soft overnight, the creek running a little higher than anyone remembers it running before. Soggy Bottom has seen strange summers. This one is starting to feel like the strangest.
The problem, it turns out, isn't that something is moving too fast.
The problem is that something has stopped moving entirely.
Bobby Ladue and his friends have faced things that dig and things that chew. This time what they're up against is round and green and surprisingly good company — and completely, profoundly, cosmically unwilling to do anything in a hurry.
The boy who can reach them isn't the strongest or the fastest or the one with all the answers.
It's the one who's been afraid of everything his whole life.
Murphy Doyle is about to find out what that's actually worth.
Bobby Ladue and the Hullabaloo
Something is draining the trust right out of Soggy Bottom. Quietly. Slowly. In a way that's harder to see than a fallen tree or a flooded path but considerably more dangerous than either. Neighbors who have known each other their whole lives are nodding instead of stopping to talk. The front porches are emptier. The town that has always run on community and kindness is running low on both.
Bobby Ladue knows exactly the kind of problem that looks like nothing from the outside and turns out to be everything.
This time the answer isn't underground or in the woods or in the water. This time it lives right in the middle of the loudest, most chaotic, most stubbornly mistrustful place any of them have ever set foot in. Every conversation is an argument. Every deal has a catch. And nobody there has trusted anybody in a very long time.
Four boys. Their biggest adventure yet. And a community that desperately needs to remember something it forgot.
