About It Came From the Creek
Katy and her best friend, Joel, decide to document the strangeness at the creek, trying to solve the mystery of what’s going on. They discover a sinister man dumping bad things into the water. Even when he’s told to stop, he goes ahead and keeps doing it.
The bullies at school are just like that, too. Katy and Joel are learning that bullies do what they do because they think they can get away with it, because they think they’re bigger than the rules.
Katy, Joel, and the rest of the town have to find a way to stand up to them before the bullies ruin the creek (and so many other things) forever.
