review 1: I have read most of Gutman's first series, My Weird School (21 books). In this next series, My Weird School Daze, A.J. and the gang are in third grade but not much has really changed. A.J. still claims to hate school, Michael and Ryan are still his best friends, and Andrea is still annoying. Kids will love that much of the familiar silliness from the first series remains. Coach Hyatt turns out to be a lady (gasp) with a son on the team named Wyatt who picks his nose. She is a tough coach and many of her speeches and drills don't really make sense. I loved it when she told them that they were about to learn the most important part of football and she taught them the end zone dance. It was hilarious.If you are a kid ages 7-10, then you will probably enjoy this book wi... moreth its odd footnotes, word play, nose-picking, and "butts". But after a couple dozen books, I am ready to move past the formula fiction and the repetition. Nevertheless, I will keep this series in mind for any student who needs to be matched with a book that will make him/her laugh and is short enough to not overwhelm the reader by a big time commitment.
review 2: A.J. and his buddies are now in third grade, which is a miracle considering how much A.J. hates school. A.J. does LOVE Pee Wee Football though, and football season is in full swing. Of course, the new coach turns out to be a girl...a woman...with a nose-picking son named Wyatt. Wyatt Hyatt? He doesn't have a chance. Neither does A.J.'s team. The Moose (why not Meese?) are bound to lose, unless Coach Hyatt's strange coaching tricks and a secret weapon not even A.J. knows about come through! My daughter loved that this book had asterisks (*) drawing attention to wacky footnotes. She made sure to look for them throughout the story. less
