    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.

      Genre: Realistic FictionReview: It might be a stretch to call this book a realistic fiction book, but I think that it works because it follows the story of Mrs. Roopy the librarian as she tries to get students excited about books. She takes a slightly different approach then most might by dressing up as different historical figures during library time. This excites most students and developes their love of reading.

    My Weird School #3 - Dan Gutman

    That Army Guy

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

    If you ask me, they shouldn’t teach kids how to read and write in school. They shouldn’t teach math. They should teach kids how to do tricks on their bikes. That’s what I want to learn! But my teacher, Miss Daisy, thinks reading and writing and math are really important for some reason.

    Miss Daisy told us to write a story for homework and draw a picture to go with it. We read the stories out loud the next day in class.

    Andrea Young, who thinks she knows everything, made up a story about a family of flowers who were sad because it was cloudy outside. Then the sun came out and the flowers got happy again.

    It was a really dumb story, if you ask me. Flowers aren’t happy or sad. They just sit there and do nothing. They don’t even have families! But Miss Daisy kept telling Andrea how great the story was.

    My story was about these giant man-eating monsters fighting on trick bikes in outer space until they were all dead. I drew cool pictures to go with it. Emily, this girl with red hair, said my story was scary. But Emily thinks everything is scary.

    Miss Daisy said I had a good imagination, but she asked me if next time I could try to write a story that didn’t have so much violence in it.

    What’s violent about giant man-eating monsters fighting on trick bikes in outer space? I asked. Everybody laughed even though I didn’t say anything funny.

    Andrea said maybe I could have the man-eating monsters make up at the end of the story and tell each other they were sorry.

    Monsters don’t apologize! I said. Everybody knows that. Andrea doesn’t know anything about monsters.

    We were arguing about it when all of a sudden some funny-looking guy marched into our classroom. He was all dressed
