Bookroo's summary

A.J. and his classmates face a bizarre history lesson when Dr. Nicholas, a quirky professor, arrives with a time machine. Instead of typical facts, she focuses on oddities like toilet history. As they journey through time, the real challenge emerges: who will get trapped in the past or future, and how will they return? Join the hilarious escapades at Ella Mentry School, where history is anything but ordinary. Will A.J. and his friends find their way back, or will they be lost in time forever?

From the publisher

With more than 12 million books sold, the My Weird School series really gets kids reading!In this eighth book in the My Weirder School series, college professor Dr. Nicholas visits A.J.’s class to help the students improve their standardized test scores in history. The weird thing is, Dr. Nicholas doesn’t care about the date Christopher Columbus came to America, who wrote the Declaration of Independence, or other important historical facts. She’s more interested in weird information like the history of the toilet bowl! She even built a time machine to take the class on a field trip to the past and future. Who will get stuck in time? And how will they get out?Perfect for reluctant readers and word lovers alike, Dan Gutman’s hugely popular My Weird School series has something for everyone. Don’t miss the hilarious adventures of A.J. and the gang.
