1-3My Weirdest School series.
Illustrated by
Jim Paillot.
During Ella Mentry School's Grandparents Day, the students get inspired by Alexia's inventor grandmother to create their own invention: "the first heated, scented, talking toilet seat." With the faculty backing their get-rich-quick scheme, the "Party Pooper" becomes an overnight sensation until it turns out to be defective. Despite forced, one-note humor, series fans will enjoy its signature brand of over-the-top wackiness complemented by black-and-white cartoon illustrations.
