Description

With more than 31 million books sold, the My Weird School series really gets kids reading!

In the first My Weird School book ever, second-grade teacher Miss Daisy is in over her head at Ella Mentary School. She doesn't even know how to add or subtract!

But the students, like A.J. and his friends, have other things on their minds. Principal Klutz has promised their class that if they read a million pages in books, they can turn the school into a video-game arcade for one whole night!

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


A.J. thinks school is dumb, but his new teacher might be even dumber.


  • Teacher Student Humor: Miss Daisy can’t read, write, or do arithmetic. Now it’s up to A.J. and his friends to teach the teacher!
  • Hilarious School Adventure: When Principal Klutz issues a challenge to read a million pages, the prize is the stuff of dreams: an all-night video game arcade party at school!
  • Early Chapter Book Series: With short chapters and laugh-out-loud illustrations, this is the perfect series starter to get kids hooked on reading.
  • Wacky Classroom Fun: Can the class read enough books to make their dream come true—and see their principal in a gorilla suit?
