The Qwikpick Adventure Society

"Major Sewer Upgrade Ready in Crickenburg" -Crickenburg GazetteLyle Hertzog and his two friends Marilla and Dave have no plans for Christmas Day. They'll probably just hang out at the local Qwikpick like they always do. But when an article in the hometown newspaper catches their eye, suddenly the three friends (aka members of the Qwikpick Adventure Society) realize that they must venture forth for a farewell tribute to the old sludge fountain at the nearby sewage plant. This is their last chance to see, up close and personal, the "fountain of poop" working its wonders!First-time author Sam Riddleburger has created a humorous and Daniel Pinkwater–esque novel about a Stand by Me type of journey that will both test and strengthen the bonds of friendship between three kids in smalltown America.
