<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Seven-year-old Stink Moody discovers that he can get free samples by writing letters to candy companies and plans a surprise for his best friend's birthday.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Spurred by a newfound awareness of false advertising, Stink Moody becomes the proverbial kid in a candy store as his letter-writing campaign yields him heaps of free rewards.</b> <p/>When Stink buys a mammoth jawbreaker that doesn't break his jaw, he writes a letter of complaint to the manufacturer -- and receives a ten-pound box of 21,280 jawbreakers for his trouble! This unexpected benefit of acing the art of letter-writing in school sure gets Stink thinking. Soon Stink is so preoccupied with getting free stuff sent to him that he overlooks a scribbly envelope in the mail pile -- until his best friend, Webster, starts acting standoffish and looks as mad as a hornet. <p/>In this hilarious episode from Megan McDonald and Peter H. Reynolds, Judy Moody's shorter sibling truly comes into his own. As a delightful bonus for both teachers and kids, thirty-six common idioms -- from two heads are better than one to a leopard can't change its spots -- are sprinkled throughout the story; seven of the idioms are humorously illustrated by Stink, and all are listed at the end to inspire a search for idioms that's more fun than a barrel of monkeys.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>McDonald has perfectly pegged elementary school, second-graders and the dynamics of family life. . . . These tales of the Moody family will hit the spot for beginning chapter book readers.<br>--Chicago Sun-Times <p/>Like big sister Judy Moody, Stink sports a memorable name and a talent for self-expression. His predicaments and triumphs have a childlike air, and the quick-witted dialogue will keep readers entertained.<br>--Booklist <p/>Clever and zany . . . A hilarious read-aloud.<br>--School Library Journal<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Megan McDonald </b>is the author of <i>Stink: The Incredible Shrinking Kid, </i> as well as the best-selling, award-winning series about Stink's older sister, Judy Moody. <p/><b>Peter H.
