Description
Bernie Bridges and his friends have to find a way to get rid of the new teacher and convince Mrs. Heinie to come back. Book #8
Quick Summary
Bernie Bridges and his friends are back, and this time they're dealing with a brand-new teacher who's so tough they're willing to try every goofy prank in the book to get her out of the classroom and bring their favorite Mrs. Heinie back. The story is packed with the kind of silly, over-the-top humor that R.L. Stine is known for, but it stays light enough for early readers no nightmares required. It's a quick read at around 11,000 words with short chapters, making it perfect for kids who are just moving beyond picture books or for reluctant readers who want something funny and a little spooky. Parents will like that the book encourages teamwork and problem-solving, even if the solutions are hilariously absurd. If your child liked the mischief-making vibe of "My Weird School" or the gentle thrills of early Goosebumps, this one hits the same sweet spot.
