The Secret Science Project That Almost Ate the School

Written by: Judy Sierra and Stephen Gammell

First line: I was grumpy, I was grouchy, I was slouching in my chair.

Why you should read this book: Rhyming words and bright pictures intertwine to create hilarious exaggerations of the world of a child in relationship to their school. While the other students diligently work on their science projects, our shock-haired narrator sends away for a mutant yeast she's found on the internet, with disgusting and humorous results. Chaos ensues, the world turns upside down, and then right side up again.

Why you shouldn't read this book: You take your science fair projects very seriously.
