Description

The second original, touching, twisted, and most of all hilarious novel for children from David Walliams, number one bestseller and fastest growing children's author in the country - beautifully illustrated by Quentin Blake. "Mr Stink stank. He also stunk. And if it was correct English to say he stinked, then he stinked as well..." It all starts when Chloe makes friends with Mr Stink, the local tramp. Yes, he smells a bit. But when it looks like he might be driven out of town, Chloe decides to hide him in the garden shed. Now Chloe's got to make sure no one finds out her secret. And speaking of secrets, there just might be more to Mr Stink than meets the eye...or the nose.

  • A delightful read about a girl, Chloe, who befriends a tramp who really, really smells. Chloe, a troubled girl due to bullying from her mum and school friends, sees more than a smelly tramp, she sees MR Stink as a confidante. Their friendship encourages others not to be so judgemental as they soon warm to Mr Stink and his commonsense approach to the daily troubles that cause grief.

  • From BookTrust (UK):Mr Stink, the filthy old tramp who is a permanent resident of a particular bench in the park, certainly lives up to his name.However, his overwhelmingly awful whiff doesn't stop Chloe making friends with him and his dog and when it looks as though they may be run out of town she knows she has to do something fast and hides them in the garden shed.As Chloe's family is quietly falling apart, Mr Stink unwittingly becomes the source of their redemption after a surprise TV appearance on Question Time.Irreverant and charming, this is a hilarious and surprisingly touching story about secrets, love and life.Illustrator: Quentin BlakeReading age: 10 Interest level: 9-11
