Stink and the Incredible SuperGalactic Jawbreaker

The book follows the adventures of Stink Moody, who writes a letter of complaint to a candy company for a jawbreaker that did not break his jaw and receives a huge box of candies as an apology. The story is filled with humor, fun facts, and lots of candies. Spurred by a newfound awareness of false advertising, Stink Moody becomes the proverbial kid in a candy store as his letter-writing campaign yields him heaps of free rewards. When Stink buys a huge jawbreaker that doesn’t break his jaw, he writes to the manufacturer — and receives 21,280 jawbreakers for his trouble! Soon he’s so obsessed with getting free stuff that he misses an envelope in the mail pile, until his best friend starts looking as mad as a hornet. Thirty-six idioms are sprinkled through the story, inspiring a search that’s more fun than a barrel of monkeys.
