About this audiobook
Lyle Hertzog and his friends Marilla and Dave expect to spend another dull holiday passing time at the local Qwikpick convenience store. Then an article in their hometown paper catches their eye--the sludge fountain at the nearby sewage plant is being retired. With this news, the three friends decide they're not just normal kids who don't have Christmas plans: they're the Qwikpick Adventure Society. Their first mission: to see the "poop fountain" before it fades from glory. Told with the mix of journal entries, doodles, and handwritten notes that has made the Origami Yoda books so appealing, this is another great series from a master chronicler of middle school.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Lyle, Marilla, and Dave have started the Qwikpick Adventure Society, and on Christmas Day, they have their first adventure to a Sewage Plant to see the sludge fountain. The simple facts of Lyle's family working on Christmas and Marilla's celebrating Hanukkah are great bits that open up kids' minds that not everyone is alike. The plot is wholly forgettable when you finish it, yet quite engaging when you're reading it. The descriptions and scenarios of three kids at a stinky sewage plant is a recipe for middle grade humor, so I would guess that this book would fly off the shelf. After all, it has "poop" in the title.
