What a fun audio book for all the fans of r.l stine. The cast that was reading it ..kept it going and gave the book a fun ride.

Our school library doesn’t buy audiobooks otherwise I would recommend purchase. I personally love the nostalgia of Garbage Pail Kids from when I was growing up so I may be biased but I think kids will love the gross humor.

I will add the link when the review goes live.

This was good but didn’t necessarily grab me. I’m glad I read it and have a few library patrons in mind to recommend it to. I will purchase the title for my library.

This is a great book to listen to with the kids at bedtime. Cute characters with great humour and lessons.
The story is centred around a group of garbage pail kids, that all have their own unique characteristics, that live in a house without any parents. They aren’t sure how they got to Smellville or how they got their adorable dog and annoying, but humorous parrot. Two of their classmates, who are perfect, live next door and their parents don’t like the kids or how noisy and smelly they are. The parents want them out of the neighbourhood, so the kids have to come up with a plan, or two, to stay in the house and stay together.
RL Stein has another great series, that could become classic.

Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher and author for the free audiobook advanced copy

Fun nostalgic read. I am glad Garbage Pail Kids have survived the generations. I collected the cards as a young child in the mid 80s (yes I just dated myself) and now my children have experienced them.

This was a really fun audio book! I had to grab it and it's narrator made me go back in time to my childhood memories of this fantastic series! A great listen and fun story that I highly recommend !

It is Garbage Pail Kids written by RL Stine!! Really this alone should explain why it deserves 5 stars. The kids all live together in a house and Mr. and Mrs. Perfect are trying to prove that they have no parents. So the kids have to act fast and find their own parents before it is too late.

It is so gross which is going to make this an instant hit with my middle schoolers. I listened to the audiobook in one sitting because I just couldn't put it down. It is one story, but several different perspectives. I love that there is a different narrator for each of the Pail Kids. Each narrator gives their own perspective of what happened and the farther you get into the story the more things correct.

In true Garbage Pail Kids style there was the perfect amount of gross and silly. I cannot wait to do a classroom read!

It’s a cute, simple story that was a great audio listen. I liked the full cast and thought everyone did a great job.
There were parts that actually made me laugh out loud while listening. Of course, there were also some parts that were pretty disgusting to hear. But being very familiar with all of the Garbage Pail Kids, this was a fun way to be reminded of my childhood. This is definitely a fun read for young readers.

Thank you NetGalley for providing me with a copy of the audiobook for review.

This is a great throw back for me as an 80's kid! Great way to introduce kids to the Garbage Pail Kids and all that they bring with them. Fun book to share with kids and to share the memories. Fun for younger kids.

Let me start out by saying this was not what I expected when I picked up this R.L. Stine audiobook. I am not sure what I was expecting, but it wasn't this novel. I am not quite sure how I feel about it still, but I do know it made me want to shower after reading it. R. L. Stine is usually known for his horror/scary/spooky story telling in which there's always an unexpected twist. This novel wasn't super scary or spooky, but it was pretty horrific. It was pretty gross and disgusting. I did love the creative names: Adam Bomb, Nervous Rex, Brainy Janey, Junkfood John, Luke Puke, etc. The whole novel was punny and witty, but filled with trash can humor (pun intended). I can't say I loved the novel, but I didn't hate it.

Recommended for: Middle School boys, 5-8 grade students, fans of R.L. Stine

This book threw me right back to my childhood, I love reading R.L. Stine. I ended up buying a hardcover that comes with some cool stickers.

I personally did not care for this book, however I am an adult. In thinking about my own children, and the children that frequent my library this is right up their alley. For fans of Captain Underpants, The Unflushables, or anyone who enjoys potty/gross humor. I think parents will see it and be reminded of their own childhoods and can share stories of their own time playing with Garbage Pail Kids. The narrator did a phenomenal job with all of the different characters. I don't know that anyone else, other than the iconic R.L. Stine could've done this book justice and brought the Garbage Pail Kids to a whole new audience.

This is a fun book to listen to and brings back so many memories from when I was young. A good middle grade book that will be fun to read or listen to. Did I mention this is a fun book and also gross (not in a bad way). So there are bullies at school and the kids have to deal with them, but they also get into all kinds of mischief. Thank you to NetGalley and Blackstone Publishing this ARC. All opinions are mine won.

A terrific throwback for 80s and 90s kids, while being gross and bizarre enough for new fans alike. Everything from the classic Garbage Pail Kids artwork on the cover to R. L Stein's writing, everything takes you back to being a kid.

A fun Middle Grade book that totally brought back memories of collecting and trading my Garbage Pail Kid cards from my own misspent youth! The audio book is narrated by a full cast, which really added to the individualness of the kids, and the way that people view events slightly differently from one another. In this first book, the Garbage Pail Kids scramble to thwart the Perfects from finding out that they live alone. The kids use their strengths and work together to stay together. It's gross, funny, and the descriptions are so vivid I swear it was smelly too!

I realky enjoyed this book it was cute and it brought with it fond memories. I have the nostalgia of the old goosebumps series that my oldest son absolutely loved and we had to buy every book as soon as it released. The narration was very good and each character was entertaining it is a good start in the series and I look forward to more! It was a great walk down memory lane! And my grandchildren are sure to love it.

I received this book from NetGalley for an honest review.

I read this because I was both curious about the Garbage Pail Kids (I was just outside of the cusp of that 80s trend), and RL Stine (I hate horror and have been hesitant to try him). This audiobook is 100% what you would expect based on the cover. There is a very frail plot that is linked together by jokes about vomit, body odor, boogers, and general dirtiness. The garbage pail kids have absolutely no idea how all ten of them wound up living alone together in a house without parents. There's no attempt at backstory, and there's a straightforward "We don't know" explanation. When the Perfects come to visit and check on the GPKs, they have to band together to get the Perfects off their back so they can continue living their lives unsupervised.
The perspectives shifted from character to character and told the story consecutively in chunks. The voice actors were fantastic. I felt like I was listening to a cartoon full of slapstick, gross humor, and craziness. Not bad, but definitely not for me! haha

Perfect fun and fond memories!- Fans of this pop culture trend will eat this up...Not to mention new ones who get curious about the cast of characters. Different narrator's and smooth transitions make each unique Garbage Pail Kid come to life. The story follows a house of parent less kids as they try to deter the "perfects" from learning about their lack of supervision. Don't be surprised if you audibly gasp at some of the well written gags and descriptions. Very good work by Stine!

Thank you to NetGalley for this audiobook!

Can a book be cute and improper (in a good way) at the same time? It can! And this book is the perfect example. It’s full of nostalgia and it’s so much fun. It gets better if you are a Garbage Pail Kids and R.L. Stine fan which I am.
