    About this ebook

    With more than 30 million books sold, the My Weird School series really gets kids reading!

    For A.J. and the gang at Ella Mentry School, weirdness and fun are all part of the routine. In this tenth book in the outrageously funny My Weirder School series, Principal Klutz thinks the kids at Ella Mentry School need to learn some self-defense moves. But the guy he hired—Mr. Jack—thinks he's an action hero! He spends all his time looking in the mirror. He does everything in slow motion. How are the kids supposed to learn anything?

    Perfect for reluctant readers and word lovers alike, My Weird School has something for everyone.

    My Weirder School #10 - Dan Gutman

    The H Word

    My name is A.J. and I hate hate.

    Let me explain.

    It was a really nice day, so Dr. Brad, the school counselor, took our class out to the playground to talk. We sat in a circle near the monkey bars. Dr. Brad was telling us how kids need to be nicer to each other.

    ‘Hate’ is not a nice verd, Dr. Brad told us.* Vee should try to be kind and tolerant of uzzer people, even if vee don’t like zem so much. Zuh verld vould be a better place if zare vuz less hate, no? So try not to use zat verd.

    I hate hate, I said.

    I can’t think of anything I hate more than hate, said Ryan, who will eat anything, even stuff that isn’t food.

    I hate people who hate people, said Michael, who never ties his shoes.

    Everybody agreed that they hated hate. Well, everybody except Andrea Young, this annoying girl with curly brown hair.

    If we shouldn’t hate things, Andrea said, then we shouldn’t hate hate. Right?

    Huh?

    "Yeah, we should like hate," said her crybaby friend Emily, who agrees with everything Andrea says.

    But it would be wrong to like hate, said Neil, who we call the nude kid even though he wears clothes.

    I hate hate, but I hate hating hate, too, said Alexia, this girl who rides a skateboard everywhere.

    I thought my head was going to explode. I hate when that happens.

    Nobody hates hate more than I hate hate, said Ryan.

    "I hate hate more than you hate hate!" said Michael.

    You do not!

    I do too!

    They went back and forth like that for a while.

    Hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate, everybody was saying.

    SHTOP ZAYING HATE! Dr. Brad shouted.

    "But you just said it!" I told him.

    Dr. Brad closed his eyes and rubbed his forehead with his fingers. Did you ever notice that only grown-ups rub their forehead with their fingers? Kids never do that. I guess when you grow up, your forehead gets itchy. Grown-ups are constantly rubbing their forehead with their fingers.

    Zuh point is, said Dr. Brad, "vee should try to use zuh H verd less, and love each uzzer more."

    Everybody started giggling and poking each other with their elbows, because Dr. Brad said the L word. Anytime somebody says love, you should start giggling and poking the person next to you with your elbow. That’s the first rule of being a kid.

    "You know vut I mean, Dr. Brad said. If you have a disagreement viz somevon, you should try to talk it out instead
