Goosebumps creator R.L. Stine teams up with the pop-culture phenomenon Garbage Pail Kids for Welcome to Smellville, the first book in this hysterical middle-grade series with illustrations by Jeff Zapata and Joe Simko, now in paperback!

Welcome to the town of Smellville, where ten 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 from bestselling author R.L. Stine, 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 repulse readers of all ages.
