8 O'Clock Club Book - Nasty, Stinky Sneakers by Eve Bunting, 105 pages

"Colin has spent weeks perfecting his sneaker odor for the Stinkiest Sneakers in the World contest. If he wins, he'll get three brand-new pairs of Slam Dunkers sneakers: one for himself, one for his little sister, Amy, and one for his best pal, Webster. But now, after weeks of working toward stinky perfection - not washing his feet, wearing no socks, jogging to get his feet juicy, and even sleeping with his sneakers on - the nasty, stinky sneakers are missing!" -Back Cover

My girls and I read this at our "8 O'Clock Club." (The girls & I gather in a bedroom and read a few chapters of a book each night. My mom always called it the 8 O'Clock Club and the name's stuck around.) We all really enjoyed this book. It was funny, had just the right amount of gross, and they couldn't wait to find out what happened each night. We'd definitely recommend it!

Sounds fun. I've requested this one from our library and will try and read it with the kids.

Thanks for all your good comments on the books you read. It does help me make some choices.
