Olga and the Smelly Thing from Nowhere: A curious kid scientist discovers a smelly new species and uses the scientific method to solve a mystery―for ages 8-12

Fun, imaginative and entertaining for young readers!

After more than one year of having this, my daughter still enjoy reading it.

I'm not one to write a ton of reviews but we loved this book. My kids are fans of Elise Gravel's other books so I though I'd give this a try. It's longer than some of the others (like The Slug, The Worm, The Toad, etc.). My son (7) absolutely loved the storyline and humor. So glad we own as well be reading it again and again. We were curious to how it ended but kind of didn't want it to end! It's a good one!

This story is sweet on so many levels and funny. I just got on here to buy the second book but figured I should leave a positive review now. Our children that enjoyed this book are 12 and 9. I really enjoyed the book as well.

We read this book in a reading group. We give it 5 stars! When she said his tail was an antenna was funny! I liked the characters too. Meh had a cute dog friend named Mister! Olga was a scientist, she is very smart! This book rocks and you should read it!

What a sweet story. Anyone who feels a bit different and likes silly and weird things will love this book. Graphics are adorable. Hope there are more books coming.

My 10 year old daughter thought it was really funny. Meh, Olga's pet, was a cute companion. She was also into science and that was a positive for young girls. My daughter has loaned out her copy to several friends. The only bummer was that the book wasn't part of the AR library/catalog.

Both my 11 year old daughter and 9 year old son loved this book. Cute and funny.

She's a fan of Dav Pilkey and adores his books. I was looking for something from a woman writer and artist. This book did not disappoint. It's exactly what my daughter loves and I love sharing that with her.

My 8-year-old daughter really enjoyed this book! However, she finished it in one hour - so not the best value for money!!

My 7 year old first word after reading this book was 'I want to read it again' and it is now in her book bag to bring with her in to school.

Très bien et drôle... mais pour ma fille francophone de 5 and c’est encore un peu difficile. Je passe des passages car c’est trop long pour elle en anglais. Dans le même style je vous recommande avant de prendre I want a Monster, les dessins et l’humour sont similaires mais plus accessibles pour les petits.

Bought to encourage my kid to read during summer break - they loved it - I often heard them laughing out loud and sharing the best parts with me.
