(4) 1-3 My 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.

(4) 1-3 My Weirdest School series. Illustrated by Jim Paillot. When the teachers at Ella Mentry School strike for a coffee machine, substitutes are brought in to help. Of course, nothing at the school is normal, and neither are the substitutes. Desperate to get their old teachers and rules back, the students go on strike themselves. The madcap plot and black-and-white cartoon illustrations are over-the-top silly, just as series fans will expect.
