In WELCOME TO SMELLVILLE, Goosebumps creator R. L. Stine teams up with the pop-culture phenomenon Garbage Pail Kids for a first-ever GPK middle-grade series.

WELCOME TO SMELLVILLE will release as an audiobook from Blackstone Publishing on September 29, 2020, and will be brought to life with an outstanding cast starring Jordan Fisher as Adam Bomb, Dascha Polanco as Babbling Brooke, Joniece Abbot-Pratt as Brainy Janey, James Murray as The Mighty Hairball,  Ramon de Ocampo as Cranky Frankie, Andrew Eiden as Luke Puke, Bradford Hastings as Junkfood John, Kirby Heyborne as Nervous Rex, and Jim Meskimen as Coach Swettypants.  

Meet the Garbage Pail Kids—Adam Bomb, Babbling Brooke, Brainy Janey, Cranky Frankie, Handy Sandy, Junkfood John, Luke Puke, Nervous Rex, Rob Slob, and Wacky Jackie. You may think they’re gross and weird and slobby and strange, but they’re not bad kids—they just don’t know any better. 

Even though they all live together in one big tumbledown house and have as much fun as they can while trying to survive Smellville Middle School, they are pretty “normal” kids. Except when compared to Peter and Patty Perfect, who are just, well … perfect. (Perfectly annoying, that is.)

When the Perfects’ mom and dad, Penny and Parker Perfect, show up to prove the Garbage Pail Kids are living without any parents, the kids need to act fast. Will they be able to find their own pair of perfect parents in time?

Join bestselling author R. L. Stine, creator of Goosebumps, for the first book in this perfectly disgusting new series.
