Welcome to the town of Smellville, where 10 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 illustrated series the Garbage Pail Kids-from Adam Bomb to Brainy Janey-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. (W) R. L. Stine (A) Jeff Zapata (CA) Joe Simko
