Mudshark by Gary Paulsen

Can you think of any student in your school that the principal goes to for help? Lyle Williams, mostly known as Mudshark is the go-to-person for lots of people. Mudshark solves lots of problems and locates missing items. But as the story unfolds, his incredible ability is being out shined by a psychic parrot kept in the library. Can Mudshark gain the students' respect back? And solve the school's biggest mystery? Where are all the erasers?
This very short crazy Gary Paulsen story is not like his outdoor adventurous Hacket novels but if you want a quick-make-you-laugh book, this is it.
