Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I was born in a log cabin in Illinois and used to write by candlelight with a piece of chalk on a shovel. Oh, wait a minute. That was Abraham Lincoln.

Actually, I’m a children's book author. I’ve written more than 170 books for kids from kindergarten up to middle school.

For the little ones, I write picture books like "Rappy the Raptor," about a rapping raptor named Rappy, who raps.

For beginning readers, I write "My Weird School," about some kids who go to a school in which all the grownups are crazy. Thirty-one million copies have been sold. I also write “Wait! WHAT?” a series of biographies that focus on the unusual aspects of people like Albert Einstein, Amelia Earhart, Muhammad Ali, and Teddy Roosevelt.

For middle-graders, I write the baseball card adventure series, about a boy who has the power to travel through time using a baseball card like a time machine. He goes on adventures with players like Babe Ruth, Jackie Robinson, Willie Mays, and others.

For advanced readers, I write "The Genius Files," "Flashback Four,” “Houdini and Me” and others.

A great book to get kids reading and laughing.
Review from my daughter Paige (13):It's the first day of Fourth Grade for A.J. and his friends. A.J. is expecting little from the new teacher Mrs. Banks, but what the teacher does is unexpected. Mrs. Banks pranks them multiple times. Can A.J. and his classmates stop falling for her tricks?I have read these hilarious books more times than I can count. I love the jokes; they always make me laugh. Their little community of class always makes those series heartwarming.A.J. is the most humorous character in the whole series. His narration of the stories always makes me crack up. Andrea is the brainiac of the series. A.J. always makes fun of her intelligence, which is a little mean. Mrs. Banks is the only teacher I read about that pulls pranks. Honestly, I wouldn't want her to be my teacher because of the constant tricks.This series might be perfect for young readers who think they don't like reading. I recommend this funny book because it's a great way to get kids reading, and laughing is good for your health!Thank you to the publisher for sharing this book with me.

As a teacher I love this series! It’s funny which keeps the kid’s attention during read-a-loud. Only downfall is the character named, “Neil the nude kid.” If I said “nice kid” in front of my class it would raise all sorts of questions. I simply said just “Neil” every time his name comes up.
Overall, great book and all around series.

My 8 year old daughter has read every book in the My Weird School series, and was so excited to learn there was a brand new one coming out! We preordered the book and it arrived very quickly! She read this entire book in one hour! She is an advanced reader, but still loves these books and the silliness of them! Your kids will enjoy them too!

This book was silly. Which I suppose is good for a break in a child's day but it was just silly. I was kind of waiting for some moral or lesson or even comuppance. I dunno. I read books sometimes to recommend to my 9 year old... Not sure this one will make the cut.
Feel free to give me some arguments for it. Sometimes book clubbing or discussion helps me better rate books :)
