Poop Fountain!

Poop Fountain! book cover
An important note to the reader from Tom Angleberger Some of you may know that before I wrote the Origami Yoda books I used to be a newspaper reporter For years I covered everything that happened in this town down in the mountains of Virginia called Crickenburg And one of the hundreds of stories I wrote was about a big change at the sewage plant That was around the year 2000 and back then Crickenburg was growing like crazy and that meant there were a lot more people flushing toilets So they made the sewage plant bigger I had to go down to the sewage plant to interview the plant manager and MAN did it stink I stayed as far away from the big pools of brown goop as I could I got the facts and got out of there Then I wrote them up and the paper printed them I thought that was the end of the story But just recently I found out that there was a lot more that happened after that It was a lot crazier messier stinkier and yes POOPIER than I ever knew A few months ago this guy called me and told me he had found a big stack of really weird papers in the storage room of the old Qwikpick gas station on Franklin Street One of the things in the big stack was my story about the sewage plant
Poop Fountain!

Poop Fountain!

This hilarious, highly original series, which so astutely captures the odd preoccupations of middle schoolers, will appeal to the many fans of the Origami Yoda series and such gross-out classics as How to Eat Fried Worms and Freckle Juice. Lyle Hertzog and his friends Marilla and Dave expect to spend another dull holiday passing time at the local Qwikpick convenience store. Then an article in their hometown paper catches their eye—the sludge fountain at the nearby sewage plant is being retired. With this news, the three friends decide they’re not just normal kids who don’t have Christmas plans: they’re the Qwikpick Adventure Society. Their first mission: to see the “poop fountain” before it fades from glory. Told with the mix of journal entries, doodles, and handwritten notes that has made the Origami Yoda books so appealing, this is another great series from a master chronicler of middle school.Praise for The Qwikpick Papers "Laugh-out-loud high jinks tailormade for reluctant readers. A hilarious and well- designed update." --School Library JournalSummer 2014 Kids' Indie Next List
