Rating: 5/5
This book is about a very smelly tramp that people called Mr Stink. People were nice to him; they through coins at his feet and sometimes dropped a scrap of food for the Duchess, Mr Stink’s dog, or something like that. But they were never really friendly with him – no one stopped for a chat. Until Chloe did, anyway.
Chloe soon made friends with Mr Stink. She saw him pull out shiny cutlery from his dirty tweed jacket and soon got very suspicious. She thought he looked like he had such a great story to tell, and imagined him as a stowaway pirate or something – but she wasn’t even close.
Chloe’s mother and poisonous sister, Annabelle, were nightmares. They were so poshy-poshy-posh-posh that they got so incredibly hateful. Annabelle always wanted Chloe in trouble, and so did Mother. Only Father was nice to poor Chloe.
What should she do? Will Mr Stink help her to a new life of happiness…or will these hateful days stay the same?
This book was absolutely awesome. It was so funny I had to tell every single bit of it to my parents, as every single bit of it was funny. I loved this book so much I didn’t want to put it down at bedtime, even if I was fantastically tired. I had a tinge of excitement whenever I had to stop at a chapter and wait until the next day to read it. Sometimes I even got to sleep dreaming of Chloe and Mr Stink!
