Miss Daisy's unusual teaching methods surprise her second grade students, especially reluctant learner A.J.

A local college professor comes to Ella Mentry School to help students learn basic history and improve their scores on a standardized test, using some very unusual techniques.

A new football coach arrives at school and, with help from an unexpected new team member, the Moose win a game.

As the new computer lab teacher tries to bring Ella Mentry School into the twenty-first century with her peculiar inventions, second-grader A.J. struggles to survive without sugary snacks when Principal Klutz bans junk food.

When the power goes out in the school, everyone panics in the dark, and only nerdy Mr. Harrison, who can fix and build anything, can save the day.

"A.J. and the gang from Ella Mentery School start a company to sell their brand new invention-a heated, scented, talking toilet seat!"--

At-ten-tion! The Beaver Scouts are looking for new recruits. And A.J. and his friends are the first to sign up. They can't wait to build campfires and earn cool badges. But scout leader Miss Blake would rather prepare them for falling boulders and surprise bear attacks. When they go on an overnight camping trip, will they be prepared for a real emergency? -- from Amazon.
