In volume 9 of the My Weirder School series, Ms. Sue organizes the Ella Mentry School carnival to raise funds for new playground equipment. Bizarre activities include the toilet-seat toss, cow-pie bingo, and duct taping the principal to the wall. Colorfully narrated by A. J., the story features witty dialogue and comically exaggerated scenes. Bonus: this may be the only beginning chapter book with a footnote directing readers to YouTube to search for "Monty Python dead parrot sketch." Bold line drawings with gray washes underscore the humor of the book, a zany addition to this funny, habit-forming series. Fortunately, the habit is reading.

In this ninth book in the My Weirder School series, it's time for the annual Ella Mentry School fund-raiser, and guess who's in charge? Alexia's mom, Ms. Sue! She has the teachers selling everything from summer sausages and cheesy popcorn to dead goldfish in plastic bags to raise money for new playground equipment.

Perfect for reluctant readers and word lovers alike, Dan Gutman’s hugely popular My Weird School series has something for everyone. Don’t miss the hilarious adventures of A.J. and the gang.
