1-3My Weirdest School series.
Illustrated by
Jim Paillot.
In Newman, high jinks ensue when a local meteorologist takes A.J. and Andrea on a hot-air balloon ride and the trio gets caught in a sandstorm. In Tracy, a retired astronomer directs a student play about the solar system, and A.J. is given the unfortunate role of Uranus. Despite repetitive, one-note humor, series fans will enjoy the over-the-top wackiness complemented by black-and-white cartoons. Review covers these My Weirdest School titles: Miss Newman Isn't Human! and Miss Tracy is Spacey.
