Dr. Nicholas Is Ridiculous

(4) 1-3 My Weirder School series. Illustrated by Jim Paillot. Ella Mentry School failed a countywide history test and might be shut down. Zany world-famous historian Dr. Nicholas is brought in to help; she teaches the students about toilets and Barbie dolls, and they board a time-machine boat for 1776. Will A.J. and his friends pass the makeup test? The animated illustrations and silly narrative make for a diverting but frenzied read.
