Bernie Bridges attends Rotten House Boarding School, and he is definitely rotten. However, Bernie has decided to change his ways to impress April May June, the coolest, hottest girl in school that gave Bernie one week to be a better student than Sherman Oaks, a spoiled rich kid. Well, Bernie runs into trouble with Headmaster Upchuck, Jennifer Ecch, the girl who wants to take Bernie to the dance, and Mrs. Heine, a teacher. Unfortunately, Bernie’s’ efforts are in vain. Crazy, rotten things happen in this book! The illustrations are descriptive and show unique expression. Great for reluctant readers.
