My 7-year-old son and I like to read "Goosebumps" together but when I found that all the books in that series had been checked out from the library, I picked up this book since it's by the same author.

Conclusion: While this book isn't terrible, "Goosebumps" is better.

The star of the Rotten School series is a snotty, arrogant fourth-grader named Bernie Bridges. I kept waiting for the part where he lets his bluster down and you start to like him, but it never happens. Other characters are either stupid, manipulative or stuck-up. It's like "Animal House" for the elementary school set. This is definitely not the book to read if you're looking for role models for your kids.

That said, the story does move along at a nice pace and you will get some laughs, as long as you don't take it too seriously.

My 8 year old son is simply loving the Rotten School books!!! These books are WONDERFUL! Whenever he starts one of the books from this collection he simply cannot stop until he devours it all.

I am buying these books by R.L. Stine for our 8yr. old grandson. We gave him book #1 for Christmas and he absolutely loved it, that is why I decided to continue to purchase the series. The books do not take him too long to read which for his age is good in that it holds his interest. When I asked him if he liked the books his eyes lit up and a big smile appeared on his face and he answered 'yes, they are so cool'.My grandson and I highly recommend these books.

EXCELLENT set of books. I own the whole series and my 9 year old son is loving them! We read a little almost every night. He is actually liking to read with the help of these books. He is always curious to see what comes next. Great Investments in getting your child to read!!!

Another great series of books for RL Stine. These keep kids attention and have them coming back for more. If you are trying to get your kids into Chapter books, then get these. They are entertaining and funny and most of them if not all are worth AR points. They are a fun read, so good your little will probably have it read before the end of the day. That is a great accomplishment for a child to read a chapter book in less than a day. These are super funny, cool, and entertaining and all the kids LOVE them.

Book three of the Rotten School series this one has Bernie Bridges trying his best to get a date with April-May June. But April-May is not interested in a boy who can't seem to keep out of trouble. So, Bernie tries his best to be a good student. That means he can't be involved in the slug race... or can he? Another story with better than average appeal to the pre-teen reader, The Good, the Bad and the Very Slimy is recommended.
