Goosebumps creator R. L. Stine teams up with the pop-culture phenomenon Garbage Pail Kids for a first-ever GPK illustrated middle-grade series.
Welcome to the town of Smellville, where a dozen kids all live in a big tumbledown house and have as much fun as they possibly can. People may think that they're gross and weird and strange, but they're not bad kids-they just don't know any better. In this hilarious new series from bestselling author R. L. Stine, the Garbage Pail Kids-from Adam Bomb to Brainy Janie-get into mischief at their middle school, all while battling bullies and their archenemies, Penny and Parker Perfect. These all-new illustrated stories are sure to amuse, entertain, and blow away readers of all ages. Bonus: includes four exclusive Garbage Pail Kids stickers!
R. L. Stine has more than 400 million English-language books in print, plus international editions in 32 languages, making him one of the most popular children's authors of all time. Besides Goosebumps, he has written series including Fear Street, Rotten School, Mostly Ghostly, The Nightmare Room, and Dangerous Girls. R. L. Stine lives in New York with his wife, Jane, and his King Charles Spaniel, Minnie. Topps, the originator of Garbage Pail Kids, is well known for its popular sports cards, entertainment products, and unique confections. Interior illustrator Jeff Zapata and cover artist Joe Simko are longtime, fan-favorite GPK artists with worldwide followings.
