Croak! Squeenk! Ribbet! After a close encounter with a mutant amphibian makes him freaky for frogs, water-shy Stink becomes a swimming success.
Stink may be super smart, and Stink may be uber clever, but he's been in the Polliwog swim class frog-ever and he still can't bear to put his face in the water. Why would he want a geyser up his nose, on purpose? But then something weird happens: Stink starts to see frogs everywhere – in the locker room, in his boot, in the bathtub. And when a freaky blue frog licks his arm, his froggy senses start tingling! He has an urge to slurp up raisins (that look like flies). He can't wait to play in the rain and mud. He's a wiz at identifying frog calls. And he has become very interested in the local frog population. Could it be that Stink is turning into... the amazing Stink-Frog, fighter of slime? Pree-eep! Craw-awk!

In honor of Judy Moody's younger "bother," the creators of the award-winning series have put themselves in a very Stink-y mood.
In Stink Moody's very own spin-off series, his special style comes through loud and strong – enhanced by a series of comic strips, drawn by Stink himself, which are sprinkled throughout the book. These very funny, homespun sagas reflect the familiar voice of a kid who pictures himself with super powers to deal with the travails of everyday life – including the occasional teasing of a bossy big sister!
