Synopsis
Call him Stinky. In this third adventure, the hero with a heart of gold and a stink to high heaven enters the 238th Annual Catfish Rodeo and Fish Fry. A catfish of preposterous proportions has confounded the fishermen of Hottenholler for generations. Once again, the whole town has gathered to see if anyone will catch the elusive fish. T.V. personality and all-around big shot, Barry Cooter harbors a particular resentment of Ol' Whiskers-he blames the fish for the terrible incident that resulted in the loss of his hiney. Will Barry be the one to finally hook the great white catfish or will Uncle Stinky's secret weapon prove irresistible fish bait? PLUS! Hootenholler's One of a Kind Self-Guided Tour of Rocks and a terrifying tale about zombie chickens.

Reviews
Grade 3-5–Uncle Stinky may smell like onions and old fish, but the citizens of Hootenholler count on him when there's trouble afoot. Or, in this case, afin. Celebrity angler Barry Cooter is arriving for the town's annual Catfish Rodeo, seeking fame, glory, and the legendary giant fish, Ol' Whiskers. Uncle Stinky wants the catch, too, but he is more interested in keeping the competition square. Cooter, on the other hand, is willing to cheat–even if it means harpooning the whole town. This tall tale features wildly exaggerated plot action that careens from rural adventure to literary parody, with dollops of horror and travel-guide commentary along the way. (The wicked skewering of Moby Dick must have Herman Melville spinning dizzily in his grave.) The text is loaded with comical regional dialogue and truly horrendous puns. Black-and-white cartoons are splashed throughout, often in comic-book-style panels with dialogue balloons and sound-word graphics. Underneath all the zaniness, there is a subtle message about honesty and cooperation. Although the dialect may be a bit of a stretch for reluctant readers, they will appreciate the short text and off-the-wall humor.–Elaine E. Knight, Lincoln Elementary Schools, IL
