The Big Stinky City Audible Audiobook – Unabridged
For as long as he can remember, eleven-year-old Mash has felt trapped in a city he despises. Mash feels like he is surrounded by a zillion people and noises all the time. The city is suffocating him.
Unfortunately, life at home with his mother is even less tranquil. She’s always drinking her “special drinks” and acting a fool, prompting Mash to escape further into his obsession with all things aeronautical. If only he could fly away from it all…but not before the upcoming air show - the air show that may change his life forever.
When Mash crosses paths with Juniper, an eccentric artist who once dumped 10,000 rubber duckies over Niagara Falls, Mash becomes an unwilling accomplice to the most spectacular art stunt Juniper has ever conceived. A project so cataclysmic and daring, it puts Mash’s entire life at risk.
As the opposite worlds of Mash and Juniper collide, the unlikely duo meets for an unexpected event and a surprise ending that will have you cheering for them both.

- Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2012Started reading it to grandson but finished it for me! He loves reading books on my kindle fire, I like not having the clutter of more books in the house.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2012Eleven-year-old Mash plans to be a pilot when he grows up. Never mind that some of his friends think this is an impossible dream, Mash has set his sights on this goal and nothing will discourage him. So when he learns of an air show to be hosted just outside of the city, he resolves to go to it.
But getting there and coming up with the entrance fee of twenty-five dollars is a huge obstacle for Mash. He is a poor kid in a poor neighborhood where people stay put. His mother is too busy with her special drink to take him and his grandmother won't go anywhere she can't get to on foot. Soon, many of the other adults in Mash's life, who are looking out for him in their own way, learn of his desire to attend the show. Judd, a tattoo artist, helps him figure out the mass transit system to get him there, but only after seeking approval of the local Catholic priest. The priest gives him a St. Christopher medal, the saint that watches over travelers, to keep him safe. His teacher, Ms. Monique, gives him her cell phone in case he gets into trouble.
Enter Juniper and Stuart, two totally unrelated, totally zany characters. They, too, have big plans on the day of the air show. And they are all about to converge--Mash, Juniper, and Stuart--on the scene.
The book has a wildly imaginative, off-the-wall plot. Mash is a totally loveable character, and I grew to like Juniper and Stuart. I loved all the scenes with Mash and would have liked it if the whole story were told from his point of view. I recommend it for middle grade readers with eclectic tastes.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2012Such a fun read. Great characters and kids will love. If any child has a dream they can see in this book that it can and will come true.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2013This book might at the beginning be confusing but once you get it you love every single minute of the book

- Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2021The Big Stinky City has a wonderful cast of strange characters that are carefully linked together in a Dickensian manner. Great read for middle school kids and up! Jason Deas has shown a great knack for relating to teens in this and Camp Timber View. Hopefully he'll write more for this audience.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2015What a good read the characters are quirky and likeable. You grow to like all of them. Truly enjoyable.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2013This book was good I read the whole book and I loved it so much I hope everyone reads it
