The ultimate guide to the art and science of stick collecting. Because nobody knows sticks like the founders of Stick Nation.

What makes a particularly good stick? Is it the stick's length and sturdiness-a trusty walking staff, perhaps, that conjures up fantasies of wizards and battle? Or is it the stick's usefulness-say, as a drumstick on a log in the woods, or as a slingshot for propelling pebbles at your friend's face? Maybe what makes a stick great is its unique shape, like Poseidon's trident or a Stormtrooper's blaster gun?

Or maybe what makes a stick great is simply how it makes you feel.

In Sticks, enjoy an incredible collection of Stick Nation's most magnificent sticks-some from as far as Cameroon!-and meet the people (and dogs!) who love them. Stick Nation founders Logan Jugler and Boone Hogg also share their top tips for finding and classifying sticks, encouraging readers to let loose, have fun, and embrace their imaginations.
