About This Book
This installment in the popular My Weird School series introduces Ms. LaGrange, a new lunch lady from France, whose cultural differences and peculiar habits are hilariously misinterpreted by protagonist A.J. and his friends. Designed for early elementary readers (ages 6-9), this chapter book uses exaggerated humor, wordplay, and relatable school scenarios to engage children, especially reluctant readers. The book explores themes of cultural misunderstanding and friendship through a lighthearted, comedic lens, making it an excellent choice for pure entertainment and fostering a love for reading.
Something weird is going on! Ms. LaGrange talks funny and she's from some other country called France! She thinks the vomitorium is a fancy restaurant! She grows her own food right out of the ground! Yuck! Plus, she's writing secret messages in the mashed potatoes!
