This ninth installment in Dan Gutman's popular My Weirder School series delivers another dose of laugh-out-loud humor for early elementary readers, especially those who are reluctant. A.J. and his friends are back at Ella Mentry School, where Alexia's mom, Ms. Sue, takes over the annual fundraiser with increasingly bizarre and rule-bending ideas. The book explores themes of fairness and the sometimes-absurd behavior of adults, all wrapped in Gutman's signature fast-paced, accessible style. It's a great choice for children aged 6-9 who enjoy silly stories and need engaging content to build reading confidence.
With over six million copies sold, Dan Gutman's take on the weirdness at Ella Mentry School really gets kids reading! It's time for the annual Ella Mentry School fund-raiser, and guess who's in charge? Alexia's mom, Ms. Sue! She has the teachers selling everything from summer sausages and cheesy popcorn to dead goldfish in plastic bags to raise money for new playground equipment. But what happens when Ms. Sue crosses the line? Somebody's going to end up in the big house (and by "big house," we don't mean a big house!). Dan Gutman's hugely popular My Weird School series has a special following among reluctant readers. Don't miss the hilarious adventures of A.J. and the gang.
