      The Mudhole Mystery (Cul-de-Sac Kids Book #10) - Beverly Lewis

      ONE

      Splash, splish. Ooey, gooey.

      Globs of mud mashed between Dunkum’s fingers. He pressed his hands deep into the dirt. Digging for treasure was a great way to spend a Saturday.

      Dunkum’s real name was Edward Mifflin. His friends called him Dunkum. He was very tall. And the best basketball player around.

      Basketball was the last thing on Dunkum’s mind, today. He was dreaming of gold gems and jewels. Maybe the pirate kind.

      Today was May twenty-second. A special day. His grandma’s holiday book called it: Mysteries Are Marvelous Day.

      Dunkum loved mysteries. Today was a good day to dig for one. Gold or jewels. Anything would do!

      He really didn’t know if there was gold in the hole. But it didn’t matter. He loved the ooshy-gooshy feel.

      What a messy, mucky hole it was—a giant one. It was the biggest mudhole in the world. Well, in the cul-de-sac.

      Suddenly, Dunkum’s fingers touched something slimy. Out of the goosh, he pulled a long, skinny worm.

      Maybe I should save this creepy creature for Stacy Henry. She hates worms.

      Says who? someone called behind him.

      Dunkum looked around.

      Stacy was standing there, grinning.

      Gulp.

      Oh, hi, he said. Dunkum tossed the worm back into the muddy brown pudding.

      Burp! The mudhole belched right there in Mr. Tressler’s backyard.

      You were talking to yourself, weren’t you? Stacy asked.

      Dunkum didn’t answer.

      I heard you. Stacy stared at him, then at the mudhole. What a horrible mess.

      Dunkum pulled out a mound of mud. Care for a glob of pudding?

      Stacy shook her head. I hate dirt. Messes too.

      No kidding, Dunkum whispered. He threw the mud back into the hole. Splat!

      Remember Pet Day? Dunkum said. Remember when Jason’s bullfrog landed on your lap?

      Stacy twisted her blond hair. So what?

      Dunkum continued. You had to go wash the froggy feel off your hands. That’s what. He laughed about it.

      It’s not nice to dig up the past, Stacy said.

      Dunkum stuck his hands back into the mud
