Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

In the seventh title in the My Weird School Daze series, third-grader A. J. hypnotizes a fellow student, the annoying “Little Miss Perfect,” with unexpected results that lead A. J. to a daring rescue—and inadvertently bring Dr. Brad, Ella Mentry School’s counselor, to a near meltdown. A. J.’s lively narrative, printed in large, well-spaced text, offers an amusing, accessible read, and the scattered cartoon illustrations add witty touches. Series readers will likely enjoy the continuing zany school escapades of the sassy, sometimes unwittingly irreverent, and ultimately well-meaning protagonist. Grades 3-5. --Shelle Rosenfeld

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Funny and Entertaining book that kids do not want to put down, May 26, 2011

This review is from: My Weird School Daze #7: Dr. Brad Has Gone Mad! (Paperback)

My seven year old daughter loves these books. I have the entire series because she will not put the book down until she has finished reading it! AJ is a funny and silly boy who absolutely hates school. The characters that the author has created is so interesting and easy for children to relate to on any level. Whether it being the Nude Kid or the Know It All classmate who always has the correct answer. It is funny to see the world though the eyes of a child what they think of their teachers and how strange the world is to them at school. These books are a must to have as a parent or an educator for those none readers. I love reading this series to my second grade students and they do not want me to stop reading even the little boys fine "Arlo" the main character to be cool and funny at the same time.
