Having been a huge fan of R.L. Stine's Fear Street books many years ago, I already considered the author a master of creative suspense. Although his Rotten School series elicits far more laughter than horror, Stine continues to entertain readers with his original and cleverly crafted stories. In The Teacher from Heck, the eighth installment in the series, student Bernie Bridges squares off against the meanest teacher EVER, Mr. Skruloose, after the sweet, old Mrs. Heinie just could not stand anymore of the rotten students. As Bernie schemes to outwit Mr. Skruloose and bring back Mrs. Heinie, hilarity ensues. Because of the short chapters, slapstick humor and overall content, I recommend this outrageous novel for students in grades 4-6.Stein, R.L. (2006). Rotten school: The teacher from heck. New York: Harper Collins. ISBN:978-0-06-078821-6
