Nightmare at the Book Fair


I love Dan Gutman. He makes books that kids love to read. The My Weird School series really hooks kids into chapter books, and this title captures his likable writing style, with a relatable school situation and a unique twist.


When Trip Dinkleman agrees to help the PTO moms with setting up the book fair, he accidently has a shelf full of books land on his head. This sets us off on a story that covers twelve different genres! Each chapter's title lets you know how the story will turn, whether it is historical fiction, adventure, fantasy, or even reference! Some chapters are much longer than others, but the reader gets the gist for the type of story elements present in each genre.
