three-stars

This is the first in the graphic novel adaptation of the early chapter series My Weird School. While touring NASA, the students unexpectedly find themselves launching into outer space. Mr. Corbett is no help as he keeps fainting from the enormity of the situation, and the kids are more or less left to fend for themselves. Will they safely find their way back to Earth?

The graphic novel adaptation contains all the silly humor found in the original books, and is reminiscent of the tone of Dog Man and the like. Kids will enjoy the wit and overall silliness throughout. The art is high color and matches the cartoonish tone of the My Weird School book covers. Recommended for readers 3rd grade and up.
