What is Junie B. Jones and the Stupid Smelly Bus about?
On her first day of kindergarten, Junie B. Jones is not impressed by her new school—or by the horrible yellow bus she is expected to ride home. Determined to avoid it, Junie hides after the other children leave. Soon she discovers that being alone in school is not as exciting as she imagined, especially when the doors are locked and nobody knows where she is. With her bold opinions, funny misunderstandings and big feelings, Junie turns an ordinary school day into an unforgettable adventure.
