About the author

The author of over 80 books in a little over a decade of writing, Dan Gutman has written on topics from computers to baseball. Beginning his freelance career as a nonfiction author dealing mostly with sports for adults and young readers, Gutman has concentrated on juvenile fiction since 1995. His most popular titles include the time-travel sports book Honus and Me and its sequels, and a clutch of baseball books, including The Green Monster from Left Field. From hopeful and very youthful presidential candidates to stunt men, nothing is off limits in Gutman's fertile imagination. As he noted on his author Web site, since writing his first novel, They Came from Centerfield, in 1994, he has been hooked on fiction. "It was fun to write, kids loved it, and I discovered how incredibly rewarding it is to take a blank page and turn it into a WORLD."

Gutman was born in New York City in 1955, but moved to Newark, New Jersey the following year and spent his youth there.

I liked the tuba that A.J. played.

It's fun to read how AJ, the main character, interprets things as a 3rd grader who hates school. Lighthearted and funny.

Funny book.

Just like all the other ones in the series. Easy read for kids and I recommend it to kids ages five and up. Another great job Dan Gutman!

This is not my favorite My Weird School book (nothing could top Arlo's president report on Benjamin Franklin) and under normal circumstances I would rate this book a solid 4- funny plot and characters. However, this one gets a bonus star today. Listening to Dan Gutman read his not yet published book on Facebook was so fun. He did voices and shared his commentary. (After reading 21 books out loud he definitely knew how to do it.) Bravo Dan for giving up your time and keeping reading on the radar for kids. As a teacher & librarian I worry about kids reading lives. Your commitment to readers is out if this world! I am forever a fan ♥️♥️♥️
