For A.J. and the gang at Ella Mentry School, weirdness and fun are all part of the routine. In this tenth book in the outrageously funny My Weirder School series, Principal Klutz thinks the kids at Ella Mentry School need to learn some self-defense moves. But the guy he hired--Mr. Jack--thinks he's an action hero! He spends all his time looking in the mirror. He does everything in slow motion. How are the kids supposed to learn anything?

Perfect for reluctant readers and word lovers alike, My Weird School has something for everyone.

Horn Book Review

A.J. and friends are back. This time, the students at Ella Mentry School are learning self-defense while also learning how to resolve conflict peacefully. Combine a teacher who's a cross between Elvis Presley and Evel Knievel, a bear, plus A.J. teaming up with arch-nemesis Andrea, and you get a wacky and wild but frenetic adventure. Entertaining cartoony illustrations further the silliness. (c) Copyright 2014. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
