In Miss Winkle's classroom, a mysterious odor causes chaos. When the new boy is unfairly blamed, Pedro defends him against the class bully. But the question remains: where is the smell coming from? As Pedro investigates, friendships are tested and secrets are revealed. Can he solve the mystery before it's too late?

From the publisher

Something smells terrible in Miss Winkle’s classroom, and no one knows what it is! When the class bully picks on the new boy, saying he’s the smelly one, Pedro steps in and stands up for his new friend. But the class still needs to know where that stench is coming from! Like all Pedro books, the story is supported with a glossary and reader response questions, making this a fun and functional choice for libraries.
