Praise for This Book Stinks!: Gross Garbage, Rotten Rubbish, and the Science of Trash

"The juxtaposition of problems and possibilities makes this a more positive book than it might have been, and there are suggested activities that are well within the capacity of the middle-grade audience. An enthusiastic invitation to become a waste warrior." -- Kirkus

"This engaging title takes readers through the facts and figures of refuse and recycling: what we throw out, where it goes, and what we can do to lighten our litter load. A focus on our global garbage habits, including trash’s impact on everything from oceans to outer space, will open the minds of young ecologists to this hot-button topic... VERDICT A strong purchase for any middle grade nonfiction collection " -- School Library Journal
