      Excellent book for students
    • 4/5
      Mr. Granite ( He is an alien,) got taken away and went back to his home planet! So now who can teach third grade? Mr. Cooper can! (Of course it's Mr. Cooper, why else would the book be called "Mr. Cooper is super" instead of"Mrs. Hooky is kooky" or some thing like that.) I like this book because it is nothing but hilarious. I really enjoy the characters and the plot I find to be very fascinating. Also I would say the illustrations pair perfectly with the writing.

    My Weirdest School #1 - Dan Gutman

    My name is A.J., and I hate it when an alien spaceship lands in the middle of the playground.

    You probably think that’s some kind of a joke. But it’s not. A joke would be, like . . .

    Q: Why do seagulls fly over the sea?

    A: Because if they flew over the bay, they’d be bagels.

    Get it? Seagulls? Baygulls? Bagels? Anyway, the point is that it was no joke. The other day at Ella Mentry School, an alien spaceship actually landed in the middle of the playground! For real!

    Let me explain. It was right after lunch. Me and the gang were at recess with our teacher, Mr. Granite. I borrowed a football from Michael, who never ties his shoes. I was throwing it back and forth with Ryan, who will eat anything, even stuff that isn’t food. Michael was playing on the monkey bars with Alexia, this girl who rides a skateboard all the time, and Neil, who we call the nude kid even though he wears clothes.

    Hey, A.J.! Michael shouted. Give me the football back. It’s my turn.

    In a minute! I hollered. We’re not done yet.

    You should give Michael his ball, Arlo, said Andrea Young, this annoying girl with curly brown hair. She calls me by my real name because she knows I don’t like it. When you borrow something from somebody, you should return it when they ask for it.

    "When are you going to return your face to the ugly person you borrowed it from?" I asked Andrea.

    Oh, snap! said Ryan.

    That’s mean! said Emily, Andrea’s crybaby friend.

    It was none of Andrea’s beeswax. I could tell she was going to say something mean to me, but she didn’t get the chance. Because that’s when the weirdest thing in the history of the world happened.

    Look! Up in the sky! shouted Michael.

    It’s a bird! shouted Ryan.

    It’s a plane! shouted Neil the nude kid.

    It’s—

    No, actually, it was a bird and a plane. You see birds and planes in the sky all the time. What’s the big deal? I went back to throwing the football around with Ryan.

    But a minute later, I noticed Mr. Granite. He was staring up at the sky. He had a weird expression on his face.

    Look! Up in the sky! shouted Alexia.

    It’s a bird! shouted Ryan.

    It’s a plane! shouted Neil.

    "No, it’s a spaceship!" shouted Michael.

    Yes, it was a
