My Weird School: Miss Daisy Is Crazy!
A.J. is a second grader who hates school. He hates it because of his teacher Miss Daisy, except Miss Daisy turns out to be the strangest teacher he has ever met. She cannot read. She cannot do math. She gets the kids to teach her instead. Then there is Mr. Klutz, the bald principal who hangs from the school flagpole. Dan Gutman writes the entire book in A.J.'s complaint-driven voice, with Jim Paillot's cartoon art running through every chapter, launching a series that now stretches across more than 20 main entries plus several spinoff branches.
