Bookroo's summary
Bud the stinkbug faces a smelly dilemma: he can't stink like his peers. While others emit odors like gym socks and outhouses, Bud smells of flowers and candy canes. As he struggles in stinking contests against champions like P. U. Bottoms and Lord Stinkington, Bud wonders if he'll ever find his true calling. Can Bud discover what makes him unique in a world where stinking is everything? Join Bud on a hilarious journey to uncover his special talent, with an ending that's as fresh as a daisy and funnier than any funny smell.
