Summary

Bernie Bridges has always dreamed about going to PPP--the exclusive Preppy Prep Prep school. All the kids at PPP are rich, rich, rich! And if there is one thing that Bernie loves it's money, money, money!

But how will Bernie get to PPP? All he and his buddies have to do is win the National School Make-a-Great-Invention Contest, and off they go to PPP for a week to compete in the final round. There's just one problem--their best ideas are a Hamster on a Stick and a light-up comb!

With a little scheming and a lot of luck, Bernie and his guys manage to win their school contest. But when they get to Preppy Prep Prep, Bernie must come up with yet another invention--this one cleverer than the first. No sweat!

But the filthy rich PPP kids are smarter and sneakier than any kid at Rotten School.

Has Bernie finally met his match?

Horn Book Review

In books nine through twelve of the series, Bernie gets invited to an all-night party (Poopers), has a battle of wits with a new student (Rottenest), invents a winning project (Punk'd), and faces down a video game (Diddys). Stine continues to create predictable yet energetic plots, but that doesn't make up for the books' irritatingly bad jokes and flat characters. [Review covers these Rotten School titles: Battle of the Dum Diddys, Party Poopers, Punk'd and Skunked, and The Rottenest Angel.] (c) Copyright 2010.
