Mr. Macky Is Wacky! by Dan Gutman is Book 15 in My Weird School series. It is a funny book about a school celebrating President's Day. I enjoyed this one because it made me laugh. It is actually somewhat informative because teachers and students share facts about some of the presidents. (Karen's review, 4 stars)

"The Replacement Wife" by Darby Kane
In The Replacement Wife by Darby Kane, Elisa does not trust her brother-in-law, Josh, at all with good reason. Women seem to come to a bad end when they are with Josh. Now he has a new girlfriend. Elisa wants to know the truth about Josh. This book is really good, wild in a good way! It has a good story line, a great ending, and does not go back and forth in time. (Gerard's review, 5++ Stars)

My Weird School FAST FACTS Series by Dan Gutman
Explorers, Presidents, and Toilets by Dan Gutman is a FAST FACTS series book that I found extremely interesting and filled with fun facts about U.S. history. I learned new things in an enjoyable way and highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to learn more about U.S. history, including the history of toilets! (Karen’s review, 5 stars)
Dogs, Cats, and Dung
Beetles by Dan Gutman is a FAST FACTS series book I found to be informative
and funny! It is filled with interesting
fun facts about all sorts of animals as well as some jokes throughout the
book. I especially enjoyed the chapter
on presidents’ pets. Arlo and Amanda
both alternate sharing facts in a fun way.
I highly recommend this book to any animal lover. (Karen’s review, 5 stars)
Sports by Dan Gutman if a FAST FACTS series book I found to be interesting and funny. Arlo and Amanda both alternate sharing facts as in the other books in this series. Most sports are covered, but I noticed pickleball was not included. I especially liked the baseball and basketball facts, but enjoyed the whole book. I liked that at the end it encourages kids to search the internet for their own weird facts about a subject that interest them. (Karen's review, 5 stars)
Dinosaurs, Dodos, and Woolly Mammoths by Dan Gutman is a FAST FACTS series book that I skipped because I just am not interesting in reading about dinosaurs and other extinct animals. I included it here because it is part of this series.

"Wish You Were Gone" by Kieran Scott
In Wish You Were Gone by Kieran Scott, Emma's husband, James, died in an accident. This novel goes into the time before and after James' death. This book is very good! It is told by many people which I enjoyed very much. The ending was just fantastic! I highly recommend this one! (Gerard's review, 5++ stars)
"Mr. Granite If from Another Planet!" by Dan Gutman
Mr. Granite Is from Another Planet! by Dan Gutman is the first book in the My Weird School Daze series that I didn't enjoy at all. It was about going green but things in it made no sense at all and it wasn't as funny as the others either. It was just stupid. The only good thing about this one is that it's a quick read! I would recommend skipping this one! (Karen's review, 1 star)
