1-3My Weirder School series.
Illustrated by
Jim Paillot.
A.J. and friends are back. This time, the students at Ella Mentry School are learning self-defense while also learning how to resolve conflict peacefully. Combine a teacher who's a cross between Elvis Presley and Evel Knievel, a bear, plus A.J. teaming up with arch-nemesis Andrea, and you get a wacky and wild but frenetic adventure. Entertaining cartoony illustrations further the silliness.
