Summary
The new school year brings standardized testing to every school and Miss Malarkey’s is no exception. Teachers, students, and even parents are preparing for THE TEST-The Instructional Performance Through Understanding (IPTU) test-and the school is in an uproar. Even though the grown-ups tell the children not to worry, they’re acting kind of strange. The gym teacher is teaching stress-reducing yoga instead of sports in gym class. Parents are giving pop quizzes on bedtime stories at night. The cafeteria is serving “brain food” for lunch. The kids are beginning to think that maybe the test is more important than they’re being led to believe. Kids and adults alike will laugh aloud as Finchler and O’Malley poke fun at the commotion surrounding standardized testing, a staple of every school’s year.

The Creatives Behind the Books
Author & Illustrator
A long time ago in a city far, far away (known as Baltimore), a space dinosaur was born. Kevin O’Malley and Patrick O’Brien dreamed up Captain Raptor and started creating books about his daring deeds. They received more fan mail for Captain Raptor and the Moon Mystery and Captain Raptor and the Space Pirates (Walker Children’s) than for any of their many, many other books. Ten years later they’re back at it, concocting impossible situations for Captain Raptor in the long-awaited third installment of the series.
