Review by Booklist Review
When Stink's parents win a family sleepover at the local aquarium, he can't wait to visit the shark exhibit and hang out with his friends there. But after the excitement of an evening scavenger hunt through the aquarium, and a spooky story about Bloody Mary the vampire squid, who can sleep? Pages of fast facts about nonfiction topics related to the story (major aquariums, prehistoric megalodon sharks, and vampire squids) separate the chapters. With large type, an appealing title, and plenty of lively black-and-white illustrations, the ninth book in the Stink series will quickly find its readers.--Phelan, Carolyn Copyright 2014 Booklist

Review by Horn Book Review
When Stink goes to a sleepover at the aquarium, he's very excited (he loves sharks) but also nervous (he's a bit afraid of sleepovers). Although the children are constantly cracking each other up with silly second-grade jokes, readers will also glean lots of factual information about sea creatures. Reynolds ably illustrates both the wondrous animals and the comical antics. (c) Copyright 2014. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
