<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>During the summer between fourth and fifth grade, Adam "Melonhead" Melon, who lives in the Washington, D.C., neighborhood of Capitol Hill, tries to stay out of trouble to earn a trip to New York to see the giant "stink flower."<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Melonhead is back in action, filled with curiosity, stirring up a little trouble (even though he doesn't mean to), and determined to have a summer of fun! In this second book in the Melonhead chapter book series, Melonhead is still pals with Lucy Rose, but he's not going to Parks & Rec camp this summer. He ruined one of Mrs. Wilkins's favorite garden plants, so his parents have loaned him to her to do chores. This is going to mess up his summer plans if he doesn't figure <i>something</i> out. He and Sam need to find a way to get to New York City to see the titan arum bunga bangkai plant. It's supposed to be twelve feet tall, weigh a hundred pounds, and smell like dead mammals, plus rot, plus spoiled food. It only blooms once every seven years, and even then only for two days and then it keels over dead. It's the Big Stink of a Lifetime! But Melonhead has to get a few more good deeds out of the way first, and doing chores for Mrs. Wilkins is a good start, even if it wasn't in the plan to begin with!<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>About the Author</b>Katy Kelly is also the author of the hilarious Lucy Rose chapter book series. She lives in Washington, D.C.<br><b>About the Illustrator</b>Gillian Johnson is a UK-based author and illustrator. She lives in Oxford, England.
