A wild and funny celebration of individuality! Eleven-year-old Simon is mortified to discover that his eccentric Aunt Mattie -- with her mismatched shoes, huge flowered hat, and incorrigibly rude parrot, Runcible (whose favorite phrase is "Shut up, please!) -- is the new substitute teacher for his fifth-grade class. Before long Aunt Mattie turns the whole school on its ear with her irreverent ways and teaches Simon's class of "misfits" that they're smarter than they think they are! Who else could have created the prize-winning Mighty Muculent Egg-Breaking and Breakfast-Making Morning-Waking Machine? Dozens of witty illustrations add to the fun in this hilarious sequel to No More Nice. Here's a book that will have young readers looking at school -- and themselves -- in a whole new way.

A sly rhyme about the pitfalls of being too bad – or good! Quentin Fenton Herter III . . . remembered always to say “Please,” to wash behind his ears and knees. He never ran but always walked, and sat quite still when grown-ups talked. BUT . . . Quentin Fenton has a shadow (named Quentin Fenton Herter Three!). Never good and always bad, this Quentin loves to make a mess, break rules, and boss his friends. How the two come to change their ways during a long, boring tea with “doilies, dust, and aged ones” aptly shows that no one is all good or bad – and makes a hilarious comedy of manners that is sure to delight good (and bad) children everywhere. Irresistibly illustrated by Giselle Potter with her characteristic wit and whimsy.

When his parents go on vacation, twelve-year-old Parker is palmed off on his eccentric Great-aunt Mattie and Great-uncle Philbert, along with his asthma inhaler and a mile-long list of dos and don’ts. He thinks his laptop, iPod, cell phone, and Game Boy will make life on their ramshackle farm bearable – but where are the cables and batteries to make his electronic gadgets work? This over-wired boy has suddenly come unplugged! Soon Parker finds himself doing things he never imagined, like standing up to bullies, facing his fear of heights, springing Aunt Mattie from jail, and – with the help of Batman – saving the family farm. 
 A telling exploration of popular culture and the true meaning of courage, this memorable sequel to No More Nasty rockets along from one hilarious and poignant moment to the next.
