About this ebook
Bayport Elementary is hosting a Mud Run to celebrate spring! A particularly muddy part of the town’s park will be set aside for the race and Coach Lambert has even managed to make more mud by using the park’s hoses and shovels. Frank and Joe can’t wait to splash through the muck.
But on the day of the race, the runners are stopped in their tracks by croaking, blurping bullfrogs! Lots of people in the town had been annoyed that the park was being taken over by a bunch of muddy kids. Could someone have sabotaged the race with buckets of frogs?

Who Let the Frogs Out? - Franklin W. Dixon
MUD BUDS
Is this mud run going to be cool or what, Frank?
eight-year-old Joe Hardy asked his brother. How often do I get to be dirty from head to toe?
Hmm,
nine-year-old Frank joked, rubbing his chin thoughtfully. Every day?
Their friend Chet Morton chuckled, Funny, Frank!
Yeah,
Joe said with a smirk. Very funny.
It was Monday morning and the first day of spring break. It was also the day before the first annual Mud Bud Run through the muddiest part of Bayport Park.
Hi, guys,
a voice called. Ready to get muddy?
The boys turned to see Coach Lambert, a gym teacher at Bayport Elementary School, walking over. He had organized the mud run.
I’m not sure I want to enter the run, Coach Lambert,
Chet admitted. Unless maybe there’s a yummy prize at the end?
Yummy?
Coach Lambert asked.
Like something good to eat!
said Chet with a smile.
There is no prize, Chet, because it’s not a race,
Coach Lambert said, smiling too. Just a chance to get muddy and have fun.
The coach pointed to the sign-up table and said, But you do get a free T-shirt if you sign up.
Okay, thanks, Coach,
Chet sighed.
Don’t forget, guys,
Coach Lambert told the Hardys and Chet, the Mud Run kicks off at eleven o’clock sharp tomorrow morning.
The coach turned and walked away. When he was out of earshot, Chet said, Free T-shirts? Why can’t it be free doughnuts or smoothies or chicken tacos?
Frank and Joe traded grins. Their friend loved to snack more than anything!
When aren’t you thinking about food, Chet?
Joe asked. When you’re asleep?
Nope,
Chet said with a grin. That’s when I’m dreaming about food!
Before signing up, Frank, Joe, and Chet checked out the mud pit. In it was a rubber tire wall to climb over, a curly slide, and a long giant tube to crawl through.
The mud will make everything super slippery!
Joe said excitedly. But not everyone was excited about the Mud Bud Run. . . .
Hey, what’s going on over there?
Chet asked. He pointed to a giant structure made of ski poles and tons of plastic wrap by the mud pit.
Eight-year-old Daisy Zamora and her six-year-old twin brothers, Matty and Scotty, were busily creating the structure. They had put up a huge sign that read, THE MUCK STOPS HERE! MUDDY BUDDIES ARE FUDDY DUDDIES!
What’s their problem with the Mud Bud Run?
asked Joe.
And what’s with that weird fort they’re building?
Frank wondered. Let’s see what’s up.
The boys approached the Zamoras. When they asked about the sign and fort, Daisy explained, This mud run is the worst. It’s going to totally ruin our garden. We’re putting up all this plastic wrap to try to protect it.
What garden?
Chet asked.
Our pizza topping garden!
Scotty replied.
The Zamoras pulled some plastic wrap aside to reveal a circular garden separated into parts—just like a pizza. A different kind of plant was growing in each section.
When it came to pizza, the Zamora kids were practically experts. Their parents owned the Pizza Palace on Bay Street.
We’re growing basil, oregano, tomatoes, peppers,
Daisy
