A non-fiction picture book about the man who used his nose to keep New York's subways safe James Kelley smelled everything. Rats in the shed. Circus elephants a mile away. Tomorrow’s rain. His sense of smell was extraordinary. But what good was a powerful nose? How could his super-sniffer make him special? In the New York City subway, James found his calling—and earned the nickname “Smelly” Kelly. Armed with his super-sniffer and the tools he invented, he tracked down leaks from the dangerous to the disgusting, from the comical to the bizarre. Then, he sprang into action to prevent cave-ins and explosions in the tunnels beneath the city. Smelly Kelly not only hunted leaks but also saved lives—and he discovered the truly extraordinary power inside him.
