Stink : Solar System Superhero | Megan McDonald | Publisher: Candlewick Press , Cambridge, Mass , 2010 | ISBN:9780763643522 | Classification: jMcD | School Library Journal
PreS-Gr 3—In this installment, Judy Moody's brother sticks up for Pluto, as it has unfairly (in his estimation) been demoted to dwarf planet status. Stink, defender of all things small, accepts the challenge of trying to convince his classmates that Pluto should still be considered a real planet while his nemesis, Riley Rottenberger, argues the opposite. The story is predictable but sweet as the smaller things in life are championed. Stink is an entertaining character and his audience will appreciate his jokes. The series of solar-system comics are likely to pull reluctant readers into the story while offering fun trivia about the solar system—including Pluto. A fun addition to a popular series.—Elizabeth Swistock, Jefferson Madison Regional Library, Charlottesville, VA |
