Customer Reviews

Good teaching resource that holds kid's attention

My bilingual nine year old son enjoys reading this book to me and I enjoy reading it to him. He lives in a Spanish speaking environment and this keeps him using his English to preserve both languages.

Rotten School

EXCELLENT series! Love them all and so does my 9 year old. R. L. Stine keeps the children wanting to read more! Great investment!

You can't keep a good book on the shelf!

Jovial Bob Stine meets (shudder) R.L. Stine in this new series called Rotten School, an elementary boarding school for boys and girls. The Teacher From Heck (Book 8) features a super duper sneaky water fight between two dorms, some battles even taking place in the classroom behind the teacher's back. Mrs. Heine gets in the way, gets soaked, and gives up with these kids. She asks for a transfer to another grade and dorm. The new teacher hails from a town called Heck, and he is really strict and takes no nonsense from the misbehaving students. Mr. Skruloose even threatens expulsion for the rottenest ones! Now Bernie and his gang not only have to win the water fight, but they need to get rid of the teacher from Heck and get Mrs. Heine back, since she is usually totally oblivious to everything. Situations occur that are true in real life, as well as unlikely riotous dilemmas. That's the spooky part of this Stine series--the actions of these zany characters can be horribly real. Told in the first person by Bernie, it is well-written with excellent grammar, punctuation, textual variations, and is loaded with plenty of gross and corny boy-humor. Aptly and engagingly (and hysterically) illustrated by Trip Park, this series will appeal to reluctant and avid readers alike.

My 8 yr old loves it!

What 8 year old doesn't like gross stuff and stories about bodily functions. He laughs and it gets him to read. We bought the first rotten school book at a book store in an airport and are now pre ordering each one. He can't wait for the next one!
