"This is a very slim chapter book, but it is cute and funnu. It was also more educational than I thought it would be. The setting is second grade and A.J.'s teacher doesn't know how to read or do arithmetic! (Or so she claims...) This book is a good level for most second graders. "

— Booklist" I love this book. I want to be like Miss Daisy when I grow up. She tricks her students into believing she doesn't know what they know so they 'teach' her!! Awesome! "
— Aida, 5/2/2011" The first in the series of My Weird School. It's funny with many wacky teachers. This particular teacher, Miss Daisy, is not that smart. The main character is a boy, A.J., who hates school, but loves his teacher. She recommends it to anyone that loves humor. "

— Clare, 10/24/2010" This is a chapter book on a first grade level. This book is very entertaining and somewhat has wierd story plot. This is about a teacher whom the school think is dumb and craz, but she is not so bad after all. "
— Jade, 10/14/2010" I learned AJ likes football, and he said football players were dummies. My favorite part is when he asks one of the football players, "do you like knocking people on their butts?" That was really funny. "
— Aidan, 3/26/2009" I think that Miss Daisy is very crazy. "
