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.

My 7 year old daughter loves this series. First discovered at school, we have purchased many of the available titles, and she avidly reads each one at night. Good practice, although some slang and concepts ("I hate school") have to be addressed by the parent.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good concept, lots of negative words from kid to kid, July 29, 2011

This review is from: My Weird School #4: Ms. Hannah Is Bananas! (Paperback)

I was beyond excited when I first discovered this series! I purchased a couple of titles to read before I gave them to my eight year old son. I did not like the constant name calling between the children. I do realize this happens at schools, I just don't think it should be used so repetively in a book of fiction. I have realized that some books in the series have less name calling than others so I will just proofread them before purchasing. This title had too many for my taste. I think the concept and actual writing are great but I don't like having to repeatedly address the negative connotations.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: My Weird School #4: Ms. Hannah Is Bananas! (Paperback)

Ms. Hannah Is Bananas by Dan Gutman. This book is about AJ's teacher Ms. Hannah. The characters are AJ, Ryan, Mrs. Hannah, Ms. Daisy, and Andrea. Mrs. Hannah does not have a garbage can, because she never wastes anything. She puts it in a ball. For instance, AJ's friend, Ryan, blew his nose on a tissue and Ms Hannah took it and stuck it on a newspaper ball. It was nasty.

Dan Gut man grew up in New York and his birthday is on October 9, 1955. Dan Gutman wrote a lot of books like Miss Roopy Is Loopy and Miss Daisy Is Crazy. They were good books. I like this book because it is funny and mysterious. It was funny when AJ rode his skateboard and fell off.
