I really can't recommend it because Mr. Korn is never punished for his ageist attitude. Frankly, I'm amazed that the series was able to survive with this as the first book.

Having just come from a restaurant full of half-feral middle graders, I’m Team Mr. Korn all the way. Also, I literally could not tell any of these girls apart.

This series really appealed to me when I was young, mostly because I was very interested in writing.

I liked these books as a kid. I think I made my own 'newspaper' for a little while. Oh, nostalgia.
