Mr Stink - David Walliams


Mr Stink stank.  He also stunk.  And if it is correct English to say he stinked, then he stinked as well.  He was the stinkiest stinky stinker who ever lived.

So begins the second hilarious children's novel written by David Walliams.

Chloe is just about the loneliest girl in the world.  But then she meets Mr Stink, the local tramp.  Yes, he smells a bit - but he's the only person who's ever been nice to her.  So when Mr Stink needs a place to stay, Chloe decides to hide him in the garden shed!  But Chloe's about to learn that some secrets have a way of leading to disaster.  And speaking of secrets, there just might be more to Mr Stink than meets the nose...

This well written, thought provoking tale is a magical read (in a similar style to Roald Dahl) with lots of laugh-out-loud moments to tickle your funny bone.

Quentin Blake once again provides the illustrations.
