I was hoping for a supplementary text for my kiddos who snatch up any available copies of Wimpy Kid and Big Nate, but I'm not sure they'll all go for this in the same fashion. It's a little more advanced and to me seemed a little extra silly, which I know will still appeal to students. I'm just not sure if they'll latch on to it as much as the aforementioned titles. It will still definitely be an addition to my humor section!

Thank you to the publisher and to NetGalley for this ARC.

I haven't read the first book in this stinky series, but I won't be taking the time to, either. I enjoyed the comics but wasn't impressed with the plot or the characters; the main kid is not one that I'd want to be around, and the fact that his character's claim to fame is his outrageous lies isn't amusing to me. That's not to say kids won't like it, however, especially his (poor, sickly-looking-even-though-the-vet-says-he's-fine) farting cat.

I would probably grab one copy for my library, but I don't see this flying off the shelves in the same way Diary of a Wimpy Kid does - it's just not entertaining enough. The words are unnecessarily intricate and the dialogue takes up a lot of space without saying anything. I did like the ending redemption arc, but won't be selling this to many kids.
