Olga and the Smelly Thing from Nowhere and Stick Cat: A Tail of Two Kitties: Two Hilarious New Middle-Grade Books + Giveaway!

This post may contain affiliate links. View my disclosure policy for details.

Thank you to HarperCollins for sponsoring this post and prizes. All thoughts and opinions are my own. You can read my full disclosure policy here.

These new hilarious middle-grade books will get your kids laughing! Check out Olga and the Smelly Thing from Nowhere and Stick Cat: A Tail of Two Kitties!

My son is in 2nd grade and a pretty advanced reader, but it’s still a challenge to make that jump from single storybooks to more lengthy chapter books. I’ve found a really good transition for kids like him is to find chapter books that have lots of pictures to break up the text. I’ve partnered with HarperCollins to introduce you to two of their latest releases that he LOVES and have us both totally cracking up! 

Olga and the Smelly Thing from Nowhere 

Olga and the Smelly Thing from Nowhere is seriously hilarious. As an adult I’m cracking up reading this! It’s perfect for animal lovers, too.

Olga finds a creature in her garbage can one day, and all it says is “MEH!”

It won’t eat, it won’t sleep, it snores, it stinks, and Olga studies it like mad. She adores it and eventually names it after herself–an OLGAMUS. A trip to the library reveals little, while a trip to the local shop proves successful when Olga discovers Meh’s favorite food is olives! These episodes take place over a few days in Olga’s never-dull life, and she manages to reveal a great amount of information not only about herself, but about everything from the scientific method and Jane Goodall and some of her favorite odd creatures to the ins and outs of friendship and every human’s use for living in a community.

Perfect for fans of Dear Dumb Diary and My Big Fat Zombie Goldfish, and great preparation for El Deafo, Roller Girl, and Smile.

Stick Cat: A Tail of Two Kitties

blank

My son really likes this book, Stick Cat: A Tale of Two Kitties. It’s funny and entertaining, which keeps him flipping pages and reading for long periods of time!

Perfect for fans of Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Big Nate, and animal lovers everywhere – meet Stick Cat!  A heavily illustrated young reader series, from the author of Stick Dog – Tom Watson!

In the first adventure (available now), it’s a big day in the big city for Stick Cat and his best friend, Edith. There are treasures to hunt, songs to sing, pigeons to catch, and naps to take. But way up on the 23rd floor, danger lurks just around the corner. Terrible noises and violent crashes trap a desperate man in the building across the alley. Stick Cat will need to navigate his way across the alley—and around Edith’s peculiar ways—to attempt a rescue.

The next adventure, Stick Cat: Cats in the City, arrives on April 25th!
