Stink #3: The Smelliest Sneakers in the World — Megan MacDonald (152 pages, Hardcover)

Get ready for a whiffy, funny adventure with Stink: The Smelliest Sneakers in the World by Megan MacDonald, translated into Ukrainian. In this third book of the Stink series (152 pages, hardbound), Stink Moody can’t wait for the class trip to the science museum to see the “Oh, That’s Gross!” exhibit. When he ends up standing next to especially odorous specimens, he discovers his nose might be super-powered. But things get smellier when he enters a contest for the smelliest sneakers—including some high stakes, rivals, and LOTS of stinky sweat.

As always, Stink’s hilarious observations, sibling dynamics, and awkward moments make this book a fun read for kids (around 6‑10 years old). The story balances gross‑out laughs with warm themes of courage, trying new things, and teamwork. The illustrations (black & white) bring the sniff‑tastic moments to life. This Ukrainian edition, translated by Nataliya Yasinovska and published by VSLO (Видавництво Старого Лева) in 2022, is a perfect gift for young readers who love gross humor, adventures, and stories that make them giggle (and maybe wrinkle their nose).
