Junie B. Jones #12: Junie B. Jones Smells Something Fishy

THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING SERIES that has captured the hearts of over 80 million readers worldwide is back with another laugh-out-loud adventure!

It’s pet day at school, and Junie B. Jones has a problem. A big one. Dogs aren’t allowed, and that’s the only kind of pet she has! When Mother and Daddy won’t budge on buying her a new pet, Junie B. takes matters into her own hands. What follows is a hilarious quest involving a jar of ants, a wiggly worm, and—wait for it—something that smells distinctly… fishy.

Barbara Park’s beloved character shines in this twelfth installment of the series that USA Today calls “the darling of the young-reader set.” Junie B.’s signature sass, her wonderfully twisted logic, and her endearing misadventures make this chapter book perfect for young readers ready to laugh their way through longer stories. As Dav Pilkey, author of Dog Man, says, this series “makes reading fun”—and what could be more important than that?

Perfect for:

• Emerging readers aged 6-9 transitioning to chapter books
• Read-aloud sessions that’ll have the whole family giggling
• Young animal lovers with big imaginations
• Building reading confidence with humor and heart

With short chapters, accessible language, and Junie B.’s irresistible voice, this book transforms reluctant readers into enthusiastic bookworms. Welcome to kindergarten, where every day is an adventure—especially when Junie B. Jones is around.
