Paperback. In this audaciously smelly sequel to The StinkerStanks it is revealed why the Peeeuuu's showed up at the wedding uninvited. They came to take the newly-wed StinkerStanks back home with them to fulfill an indenture or (Obli') left over from Putrescence's grandfather. They become virtual slaves and are forced to go to The Great Stink. This city, London England, was once known as the Great Stink and was a feculent place where sewage was simply dumped out on the streets. Although staying at Peeeuuu's opulent estate, the StinkerStanks aren't free. Rotten is forced to perform the dangerous job of cleaning out basement sewage pits of the wealthy using only a pail and his courage, while Putrescence is forced to work endlessly in the Peeeuuu's kitchen preparing meals. They are made to learn a new language called Gutter Trash talk so they won't be ridiculed by the locals. Along the way to the Great Stink, they encounter Robbie and his peg-leg pet Robin, along with his friend Fat Fryer who together commit one of their first highway robberies in the forest before they eventually become the most famous robbers of English history. MoleHole meets Quillery the hedgehog and Flyspeckus finds out spiders love flies in the forest as much as anywhere else. Poor OL'Gab is heart-broken after being forced to leave his master OL' Man Stinker and pull the wagon. He finds the forest a lonely place and life not worth living until he meets the retired workhorse gang OL' Swayback, OL' Nag, OL' Clodhopper, Ol' Heaves and OL' Cribber and gets to share oats, swap stories and gossip until his lip wants to fall off. After some time, this seems to be life for the StinkerStanks until Rotten discovers a way to make some extra monay by using his Stank talents at a dump on Day Off's and discovers the true meaning of monay's influence and value. A terrible natural disaster allows Rotten to find a way to solve the city's sewage problem and sets them free of their Obli' so they are finally allowed to go home. This book is full of bizarre surprises and unusual characters such as when MoleHole meets Jib the cat that walks sideways and the Bones Abode where not everyone is apparently dead. Flyspeckus meets the first true love of his fly life when he meets Queen Mare the horsefly. Owen Wagg once again weaves fact and fiction into a tale that is wonderful to read and an imaginatively entertaining comedy. Humorous and witty in its fantasy style, this book is sure to keep you spell-bound and laughing at the antics and lives of the books characters as you read on. At the end of this book if there is only one thing you will know, it is that you will wish you took a shower or bath more often. Canadian writer Owen Wagg comes from a long line of storytellers who once all lived in Muskoka, Ontario, Canada but sadly are now all dead, except for him. If you are brave enough to come to this region, you will find him hiding out somewhere behind a mossy rock professionally telling tall tales or writing other books such as The Nears of Afar.
