    Author

    Dan Gutman

    Dan Gutman (b. 1955) is a prolific author of popular children’s books. He began his career with adult nonfiction books about baseball, covering topics such as the game’s greatest scandals and the evolution of its equipment. The birth of his first child inspired him to begin writing for a young audience, beginning with Baseball’s Biggest Bloopers (1993). The Kid Who Ran for President (1996) became Gutman’s bestselling book, and has sold almost a million copies. In 1997, he published Honus & Me, a story about a young boy who finds a rare baseball card that magically takes him back to 1909 to play with the great Honus Wagner. Gutman went on to create a series about time-travel encounters with other baseball stars such as Jackie Robinson and Babe Ruth. Miss Daisy Is Crazy (2004) was the first My Weird School book, beginning a long-running series of more than forty novels. With Mission Unstoppable (2011), Gutman debuted a new adventure series: the Genius Files, starring fraternal twins Coke and Pepsi McDonald. The first book in the series became a New York Times bestseller. The sequel, Never Say Genius, was published in 2012. Gutman lives in New Jersey with his family.

    A Ghost in the Bathroom

    My name is A.J. and I hate school.

    It was a couple of weeks before Halloween, which is the coolest holiday of the year. We get to wear our costumes to school on Halloween and have a big candy party. At the end of the day we parade around the block with all the parents watching. Marching in a parade is way better than watching a parade, because you don’t have to stand in one place for a million hundred hours.

    Hang up your coats in the cloakroom, said my teacher, Mr. Granite, who is from another planet.

    What a weird name for a room: cloakroom. Who wears a cloak? I don’t even know what a cloak is.

    After we finished circle time and Word of the Day, Mr. Granite told us to take out our math books and turn to page twenty-three.

    Can I go to the bathroom? I asked.

    Do you really need to, A.J.? said Mr. Granite.

    Yes!

    I didn’t really need to go to the bathroom. Sometimes I go to the bathroom even though I don’t have to. Like when Mr. Granite is teaching math. I hate math. Math is the perfect time to go to the bathroom.

    Arlo doesn’t need to go to the bathroom, said Andrea Young, this annoying girl with curly brown hair. She calls me by my real name because she knows I don’t like it.

    I do too.

    Do not.

    We went back and forth like that for a while. But the teachers have to let you go to the bathroom. It’s a law. If they don’t let you go to the bathroom, they have to go to jail.

    Go ahead, A.J., Mr. Granite grumbled.

    The boys’ bathroom is haunted, y’know, whispered my friend Ryan. I heard there’s a ghost in there.

    Yeah, watch out for that ghost, said my friend Michael. He eats kids for lunch.

    That’s ridiculous. There’s no such thing as a ghost. And even if there were ghosts, they wouldn’t go to the bathroom. They don’t have to.

    Even if ghosts did have to go to the bathroom, they wouldn’t haunt one. Ghosts haunt graveyards, basements, and old houses of people who died. Not bathrooms. Everybody knows that. I’m not afraid of ghosts.

    Still, I was going to be careful, just to be on the safe side. I walked down the hall and pushed open the door to the bathroom.*

    Anybody in here? I asked.

    Nobody answered.

    I sat down in one of the stalls. There was nothing to do, but it was better than learning math.

    That’s
