Hilarious series of wacky stories from a US boarding school where naughty pranks and mischief rate much more highly than education. From bestselling US author, R.L. Stine. Welcome to Rotten School, founded 100 years ago by I. B. Rotten as a boarding school where students would grow and succeed intellectually, morally and physically as they prepared for a productive and happy future. However, today our standards are a little less rigorous -- we are simply happy if the students are still alive at the end of each day! We think rivalry is healthy for our pupils, thus, Rotten School is divided into two warring groups: Bernie Bridges and his friends in Rotten House vs. Sherman Oaks and his friends in Nyce House. Bernie Bridges wants April-May June to ask him to the annual school dance, but Jennifer Ecch -- the Nightmare Girl -- swoops in and asks Bernie instead. Bernie tries to convince Jennifer that he is not worthy of her, but Jennifer loves Bernie -- no matter what. Bernie decides to hold a long-distance snot-blowing contest in front of Jennifer. That should be gross enough to get Jennifer out of his life -- shouldn't it?
