Stinkbomb and Ketchup-Face and the Quest for the Magic Porcupine

149 pp. | Putnam | February, 2018 | Trade ISBN 978-1-101-99665-2 $16.99
(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Sam Ricks. Though the brigade of wily badgers was jailed at the end of Badness of Badgers, the bandits escaped with a Monopoly-esque "Get Out of Jail Free" card. But our hero Stinkbomb and his sister, Ketchup-Face, are once again on their trail, now aided by a ninja librarian, a disguised rabbit, and a banana-eating shark. This quest-fantasy send-up's nonstop metafictive silliness has enormous kid-appeal; spot illustrations add to the hilarity.
