The Museum of Very Bad Smells: A Dare to Scratch N' Sniff Mystery

Monica Arnaldo was born in Ontario, Canada, where the trash cans are often filled with raccoons and half-eaten cheeseburgers (but seldom any glowing seeds). When she wasn't drawing or reading, she spent much of her childhood pondering some of life's great questions, such as "Can I pet that wild animal?" and "Why not?" She has since written and illustrated several picture books and moved to Quebec, where raccoons speak French.
