Mr Stink

About Mr Stink

Dive into the heartwarming and hilariously smelly world of Mr Stink, the second original novel for children by the beloved David Walliams. This touching tale introduces Chloe, a lonely young girl who finds an unlikely friend in Mr Stink, the local tramp. Despite his rather pungent aroma, Chloe is drawn to his mysterious charm. When circumstances threaten to drive Mr Stink out of town, Chloe makes a bold decision: she hides him in her family's garden shed. This secret arrangement leads to a series of comical and poignant adventures, forcing Chloe to navigate the challenges of keeping her new friend hidden from her family and the wider community.

As Chloe strives to protect her secret, she discovers there's much more to Mr Stink than meets the eye – or the nose. David Walliams, known for his unique blend of humour and heart, explores themes of friendship, homelessness, and acceptance through the eyes of a child. Beautifully illustrated by Quentin Blake, this paperback edition is a perfect read for children aged 9-12, offering both laughter and a gentle lesson in looking beyond appearances. It's a must-have for young readers in Malta looking for engaging and thought-provoking stories.
