Description
"On a scale of one to ten, sixth-grader Danvers Blickensderfer's life is a solid minus two. But he really hits rock bottom when he auditions for the local talent show: his death-defying hula-hooping-ninja tribute to Gonzo the Great is beat out by the world's most obnoxious middle school boy band, Emo Shun.

With his daredevil dreams dashed, Danvers goes to bed... and wakes up feeling a little fuzzy-literally! He's turned into a Muppet!

Fortunately, there's an internship open at the Muppet Theater and Danvers has a chance to meet his long-nosed, stunt-lovin' hero! All aboard The Electric Mayhem bus as this misfit makes good and joins the zaniest crew ever: The Muppets!"

Locations and Culture

 * Block City is the city in which Tales of a Sixth-Grade Muppet takes place. Its schools are Coldrain Middle School (which Danvers Blickensderfer attends), a preschool his sister Chloe goes to which is not referred to by name, and Eagle Talon Academy, run by Sam the Eagle. It has a newspaper, the Block City Beat, and the yearly Fall on Ice Festival.
 * Block City Beat is Block City's newspaper. Its name is only shown in its first appearance, in which Danvers' dad is reading it at the table, and it reports the headlines "Strange Green Flash Seen Last Night" (referring to the green flash that probably caused Danvers to mutate into a Muppet) and "Jobs? What Jobs?" In its second appearance, somebody is reading it at Veteranarian's Hospital, and it contains an ad for the Fall on Ice Festival and an article reporting Danvers' transformation. In its third appearance Danvers' dad has it again on the couch while watching Chloe, and it says "Pigs in Space", and "Jobs? Hah!" In its fourth and final appearance, it says Sundays have been officially declared Disco Pirate Day by the mayor (Danvers already had Sunday as his disco pirate day, and the disco pirate costume he's wearing implies that it is Sunday).
 * Eagle Talon Academy is a school run by Sam the Eagle, and the temporary location for Muppet Labs. Danvers and Pasquale go there to find the source of the mysterious Muppetmorphosis. Working there also is the Swedish Chef, and the students there who they talk to are Hockney, a carrot, Ingy, and Minette.
