About This Book
A parent might reach for this book for a reluctant reader who loves slapstick humor, sports, and stories about clever underdogs. This is not one of R.L. Stine's scary stories; instead, it's a hilarious book from his 'Rotten School' series. The story follows Bernie Bridges, a master prankster who makes a huge bet that his school's hopelessly terrible football team can beat their well-trained rivals. To win, Bernie and his friends unleash a series of wild schemes and pranks. Perfect for ages 8-12, this fast-paced comedy is a great choice for fans of 'Diary of a Wimpy Kid', offering pure entertainment while lightly touching on themes of creative problem-solving and unconventional teamwork.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book's conflict is resolved through cheating and pranks. This is presented in a highly comedic, cartoonish context and is not meant to be taken seriously as a moral guide. The approach is entirely secular and the resolution is hopeful in a funny, 'the-schemers-win' kind of way.
