Award-winning author Dan Gutman offers up this sixth hilarious tale from his fan-favorite My Weird School series. Bored out of his mind at school, A.J. hates going to class-especially when it's time for music. But all that changes when the new music teacher, Mr. Hynde, starts doing weird stuff like rapping, dancing around, and playing bongo on the principal's bald head. Music class just got a lot more interesting! But when Mr. Hynde tries to make A.J. kiss a girl in a school play, A.J. wonders how he'll survive.

      Starred review from August 1, 2012
      Gr 1-3-In the funniest book (HarperCollins, 2005) yet in Dan Gutman's series, second grade king of hyperbole, A. J., complains that he hates school, dislikes reading, and particularly despises Andrea Young, a geeky brown-noser, and her crybaby sidekick, Emily. Good news arrives when their music teacher, "boring, snoring Mr. Loring," is replaced by an unlikely successor: rapper and jam master, Mr. Hynde. The "one- man funky groove machine" appears in a purple cloud of smoke with a sequined cloak, movie-star shades, baseball cap, and a penchant for break dancing. No more old school, as Mr. Hynde promises "I'm here to rock your world, so get down and get your swerve on!" Jared Goldsmith gets A. J.'s voice just right and kicks into high gear with his hilarious hip-hop/ghetto slang take on Mr. Hynde. It's non-stop laughter as he exhorts the class to get out of their seats and bust a move. During TV Turn-Off Month, or "the end of the world as we know it," Mr. Hynde teaches an unorthodox percussion lesson and writes a hip-hop Beauty and the Beast musical play to engage his charges. There's even a surprise ending, so reluctant readers and their jaded teachers will equally enjoy this delightful audiobook.-"Lonna Pierce, MacArthur Elementary School, Binghamton, NY"
