Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
My Weird School #2
Dan Gutman · 2009
80/100
👍 Worth It
Mr. Klutz Is Nuts! is exactly what it promises: a short, escalating chain of ridiculous principal stunts that makes second-graders laugh out loud and keeps turning pages. Gutman understands reluctant readers at a molecular level, and thirty-seven million copies sold is not marketing — it is evidence. The literary depth is shallow by design, and that is fine; this book's job is to make a kid who hates reading ask for the next one.
