A sleepover at an aquarium, a fun night, and sharks!
This is my first Stink book, I have read all the Judy Moody books, and also most (if not all) of the Judy + Stink books. So I thought it was time to check out the Stink series as well, even though he isn't always my favourite character.
In this book Stink gets the chance to have a sleepover at the aquarium along with his family, friends, and also other people who won a chance for the sleepover. Of course it is not just a sleepover, there are all sorts of events happening + you can wander around while the aquarium is officially closed!
Boy, I wish I could have a sleepover at an aquarium, it sounds absolutely fabulous! Sleeping with fish/underwater creatures around you? That is a dream right there!
Stink was pretty OK in this one, though at times I found him a bit whiny, and at other times I found him acting a bit too OMG look how smart I am. But luckily there were enough times that he really showed his good side. Plus his enthusiasm for sharks was really sweet, I loved how he went into fanboy mode quite a few times.
Of course we also see Judy, and I was happy she also appeared. She also seems much more mature in these, perhaps because we see her from Stink's POV. When her brother needed her she stepped up and helped out.
I am not sure what to think of Riley. She was pretty annoying, bleh, and I just wanted to throw her in the shark tank. I am not sure why they were so tolerant of her, she kept being rude and kept butting into things. If I was Stink I would just have asked if she would leave me alone.
There is also a part about facing your fears, and I liked that it was added.
The book also contains some fun facts about sharks.
The illustrations, well I love them in the Judy books, and I love them in here.
All in all, I think I will keep on reading these Stink books. This book was so fun!

An okay entry into juvenile chapter books. There is lots of actions to grab the attention of the reader but the prose is mostly dialogue so it's not really conducive to a read aloud (which is what I did).
The tidbits of trivia at the end of each chapter were great. Not so sure about the inclusion of the Bloody Mary legend no matter how watered down.

It wasn’t bad. It just wasn’t exactly good either. I’ve never read any Judy or Stink books before but one of my book clubs asked so I gave it a spin. Honestly, not much of a fan. My quest for good series at this reading level continues. (Student book club)

Yay we loved this one
All the parts were good. And we loved looking up pictures of all the fish on the internet while we read. This way we could see what they looked like too.

When Stink's parents win a sleepover at the aquarium, Stink is beside himself with excitement! The whole Moody family gets to go, as well as a few of Stink's friends. They have an amazing time at the aquarium, including a scavenger hunt, touching the animals, and a campfire with scary stories. Includes many fun facts about sharks. Recommended for grades 1-3.

Stink is excited to learn that his parents have won a sleepover at the aquarium for the whole family. He is even happier to learn that his friends Sophie and Webster will also be there. The kids spend the evening with Miss D. enjoying the exhibits and having their questions about the different fish answered. The bad thing about the sleepover is that Riley Rottenberger is there with her FINS group (Friends in Nature Study). She continually bugs Stink and boasts that her team will win the scavenger hunt.
This is a great story for a read-aloud. Everyone can imagine the jellyfish floating in their tank or the sharks circling, laugh at Stink's sleepover pranks on his sister Judy, and get goosebumps from the story of Bloody Mary the Frankensquid. I would recommend it to readers who enjoy Judy Moody and Stink stories. If you have never tried the books with Stink and Judy, but you like Junie B. Jones or Ready Freddy - you should give this a try.
I read an e-book provided by the publisher through NetGalley.
