About the Author

Dan Gutman has always been a baseball fanatic. He played in Little League as a kid, and one of the first magazine articles he ever sold explained the science behind the spitball, the scuffball, and corked bats. When he thought about the T206 Honus Wagner—the most valuable baseball card in the world—he began to write honus & me, his first Baseball Card Adventure. That book introduced Joe Stoshack—Stosh—a kid who can use baseball cards to travel through time and meet the game’s greatest players. Stosh has since gone on many amazing, fast-paced adventures, most recently to try to save Roberto Clemente.

More About the Author

This is hard. I'm a pretty regular Jersey guy who spent fifteen years trying to write newspaper articles, magazine articles, screenplays, books for adults, and just about everything else before I discovered the one thing I'm good at--writing fiction for kids. I aim for kids who DON'T like to read, and hopefully the kids who DO like to read will enjoy my stuff too. For all the gory details about me, check out my web site.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: My Weird School #20: Mr. Louie Is Screwy! (Paperback)

Mr. Louie Is Screwy is another wonderful addtion to the My Weird School series. It's Valentine's Day at Ella Mentry School, and Mr. Louie, the school crossing gaurd, is in the center of it all. What happens when a love potion is put in the school's water fountain? Two teachers are getting married... by Mr.louie!? Suprise! A.J. has a secret, want to know what it is? Read the book and find out.
My favorite part was when Mrs. Yonkers tested out her Love Machine on the class. It was really funny to read about all the antics of Mr. Louie as well. This book is filled with lots of humor and intresting information too. Did you know that in Korea on April 14th, men who didn't get a present on Valentine's Day gather together and eat noodles? A.J. thinks other countries are weird.
This is a great book for Valentine's day not only because it is takes place during the holiday, but because of Mr. Louie's message of loving each other and just loving love! I highly reccomend it and would read it again.
