The 10th book in the My Weirdest School series, Miss Newman Isn’t Human features a local meteorologist (Sprinkles Newman) who doesn’t seem to be able to think for herself when Luke, her cue card holder, gets struck by lightning! Students A.J. and Andrea have their typical arguments and rivalry, but when they end up in a hot air balloon together in the middle of a sandstorm, they manage to pull together!
Dan Gutman does a really good job keeping your interest and is a good choice for reluctant readers. This wasn’t my favorite of the series, but it’s still funny and exciting. Is Miss Newman a robot? Can she think without needing to read off of cue cards? Is Luke going to be okay after being struck by lightning? What is a “haboob?” All of these questions will be answered! Suggested reading level is grades 1 – 5. Recommended for libraries who already have the My Weirdest School series or a lot of beginning chapter books.
