UPDATE: Thanks to the Muppet Mindset, we now have reports on three more Muppet books! The newest additions are listed at the end of this post.
Thanks to our pals at the Muppet Mindset and Muppet Newsflash, we found out about four brand new Muppet books coming to you later this year! Normally, this would result in the normal response, but we’re doubly excited due to the presence of the talented Amy Mebberson on art for three of these books! If that doesn’t get your wallet opening, I don’t know what will.
Check out the books, along with official descriptions, prices, and release dates below!

Tales of a Sixth-Grade Muppet Book 3: The Good, the Bad, and the Fuzzy
By Kirk Scroggs
Changing into a Muppet has really turned Danvers Blickensderfer’s life upside down . . . literally! That’s him dangling above a toilet at the hands of Beebus Spracklin, the biggest thug in school. This creep is the Picasso of insults, swirlys, and wedgies and Danvers is his canvas. But he’s messin’ with the wrong kid! Not only is Danvers the heart throb star of Kermit’s upcoming band camp movie musical, he’s also a secret . . . superhero? That’s right, Danvers is convinced that his Muppetmorphosis has bestowed on him extraordinary powers-now he’ll need Gonzo, Miss Piggy and the gang’s help to figure out what the heck those powers could possibly be! Can Danvers balance being a caped crusader and a tween crooner? Or, will the bully behemoth drive him out of his own school into the open wings of Sam Eagle’s Talent Academy? And what’s with the mysterious green light at the edge of Custardcrust Swamp?
