Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
My Weird School Special
DAN. GUTMAN · 2024
72/100
👍 Worth It
The My Weird School Specials deliver the same reliable classroom humor as the main series with bonus puzzles and activities that give the books a little extra life, especially as gifts or seasonal reads. Nothing here will surprise fans of the series, but the added interactivity makes these slightly more interesting than a standard entry. The formula is thoroughly predictable, which is either a feature or a flaw depending on your reader.
