4.0 out of 5 stars Rotten School will have young boys laughing, March 2, 2006

By 

Miss Jennifer (OH) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Lose, Team, Lose! (Rotten School, No. 4) (Hardcover)

This is the fourth book in Stine's newest series "Rotten School". Very humorous and full of that toilet humor young boys are so fond of, this book will appeal to fans of "Captain Underpants" or the books by James Marshall. The fourth grade football team at Rotten School known as the "Rotten Apples," has never won a football game. At least not until Jennifer Ecch joins the team, wanting to be close to her boyfriend Bernie Bridges. He refers to her as the Nightmare Girl, but if she can get the team to win with her large size and blocking abilities, that's just fine with him. In fact, if she can lead the team to the National Championship he will even wear the 10 sweaters she plans to knit for him that read, " Bernie loves Jen" and he'll get a date with the beautiful cheerleader April-May June. Unfortunately after winning every game Bernie realizes that the last game must be played against the roughest team, the "Bone Breakers" and he sets out to find a way to sabotage their winnings. Illustrated in black and white line drawings with washes of gray and includes a map of the Rotten School campus. The book is chock full of stereotypical characters - the cheerleader, the rich kid, the athlete, the geek - which fit perfectly with the style of the book. Humor abounds with names like R.U. Dumm Football Field and Headmaster Upchuck, illustrations of the Hammerhead Sharks showing their helmets in the shape of hammerhead sharks, and puns throughout. What boy is not going to love this?

5.0 out of 5 stars Great series for boys!, December 28, 2007

This review is from: Lose, Team, Lose! (Rotten School, No. 4) (Hardcover)

I have enjoyed watching my 10 year old boy read this series. He thinks this book series is funny and has story ideas that are on his level. He has also enjoyed the Mostly Ghostly series by R.L Stine. (all eight books!) It is the first series that I have seen him read through faster than any other books in the past. It is great to see your child reading for fun and not because he is being told to read. I would recommend this series if you have a child who doesn't always "want" to read. This series may draw him in and get him wondering what is on the next page!
