Description

With more than 30 million books sold, the My Weird School series really gets kids reading!

For A.J. and the gang at Ella Mentry School, weirdness and fun are all part of the routine. In this tenth book in the outrageously funny My Weirder School series, Principal Klutz thinks the kids at Ella Mentry School need to learn some self-defense moves. But the guy he hired—Mr. Jack—thinks he's an action hero! He spends all his time looking in the mirror. He does everything in slow motion. How are the kids supposed to learn anything?

Perfect for reluctant readers and word lovers alike, My Weird School has something for everyone.


  • Hilarious School Stories: Join A.J. and the gang at Ella Mentry School where the teachers are weirder than the students, and the new self-defense instructor thinks he’s an action hero!

  • Books for Reluctant Readers: The zany plot and nonstop jokes will get even the most hesitant readers turning pages to see what happens next.
  • Laugh-Out-Loud Humor: From a teacher who does everything in slow motion to a surprise emergency involving a Ping-Pong ball machine, the silliness never stops.
