My Weird School is a long-running humorous kids' chapter book series. The first book, Miss Daisy is Crazy!, was published in 2004.It is about the misadventures of AJ, a reluctant learner who hates school, and the various weird staff members that populate Ella Mentry School. AJ is accompanied by his friends (and enemies) nerdy Michael Robinson, Ryan Dole, Andrea Young, Emily Pucket, and later Neil Crouch and Alexia Juarez.The series currently consists of five arcs. My Weird School introduced AJ and his fellow classmates as they navigate second grade together. My Weird School Daze has the kids begin third grade with a teacher that also happens to be an alien. My Weirder School introduces a new main character to the fold: the tomboyish Alexia. My Weirdest School continues the students' third grade with a brand new teacher. And My Weirder-est School show the kids' final adventures in third grade. A sixth arc, My Weirdtastic School, will begin in 2023, with it set to begin the kids' fourth grade tenures.It is written by Dan Gutman and illustrated by Jim Paillot. Nickelodeon is developing an adaptation of the books. | |

In-Series Nickname: Neil is referred to as 'the nude kid'. The reason for this is explained in "Mrs. Kormel is Not Normal". He was the new kid in school and the bus driver, Mrs. Kormel, told the kids at the front of the bus to tell this to everyone else on board. This gets corrupted into the nude kid, leading AJ and his friends to think that Neil is a nudist. In the end, Neil is fully clothed. | |

Wacky Homeroom: There's a kid who hates school, a kid who loves school, a kid who can't tie his shoes, a kid who WILL eat anything and everything, a tomboy, a "nude" kid, and a crybaby. To say nothing of the teachers. | |

Napoleon Delusion | |
| My Weird School / int_83a55c8e | comment |
Napoleon Delusion: Mrs. Roopy, the school librarian, possibly has Dissociative Identity Disorder because she keeps pretending to be multiple different historical figures (George Washington, Neil Armstrong, etc), and genuinely believes she is them. When A.J. tries to expose the truth to her in "Mrs. Roopy is Loopy" by showing her the George Washington costume she wore, she started to cry because she thought it meant the real George Washington was running around naked. | |

Mondegreen Gag: In one book, Emily sings "Home on the Range", only she says "cantaloupe" rather than "antelope" during the "Where the deer and the antelope play" line. AJ teases her for it and she starts wailing. In "Mrs. Kormel is Not Normal", the kids hear that they're going to have a new kid, and they mishear "new" as "nude". As such, they think that the new student Neil is a nudist. Even after they learn that he's not naked after all, they continue calling Neil "the nude kid" as an inside joke. | |

Inelegant Blubbering: This happens quite often when a group of characters cry over something that makes them really emotional. | |

Literal-Minded: AJ takes everything literally, such as metaphors. One recurring metaphor is when a teacher is on "the last straw" and AJ wonders where they keep the straws. | |

Manchild | |
| My Weird School / int_e313b4e7 | comment |
Manchild: Pretty much all of the adults have eccentric personalities that make them act like children. Miss Daisy doesn't know math, Mr. Klutz likes to do crazy stunts as incentives, Ms. Roopy LARPs as several famous people of history and literature, and Ms. Hannah collects garbage to make art out of it. | |

Art Evolution | |
| My Weird School / int_e43c66bd | comment |
Art Evolution: In the first books in the series, the characters' faces were rounded, but the later installments flatten them immensely, therefore, making them look less off-model at times. | |

Catchphrase | |
| My Weird School / int_e6b5d22f | comment |
Catchphrase: AJ - "My name is AJ and I hate X", "So is your face", "Why can't [a bunch of heavy objects] drop on [Andrea's] head?", "Everybody laughed, even though I didn't say anything funny", "But it won't be easy!" and "I wish I could run away to Antarctica with the penguins." | |

Identical Stranger | |
| My Weird School / int_f27ec906 | comment |
Identical Stranger: It is noted that Andrea and Ms. Todd look very similar. Ms. Todd is also similar to Andrea personality-wise. AJ looks identical to Cray-Z. In fact, AJ disguises himself as Cray-Z in order to help him get away from his fangirls. | |

Malicious Slander | |
| My Weird School / int_f8c8175a | comment |
Malicious Slander: In "Mrs. Lilly is Silly", the kids publish a bunch of lies about the teachers in the school newspaper, and defend this out of "freedom of the press". They accuse Mr. Docker of being a domestic abuser, Ms. Yonkers of being a pyromaniac/arsonist, Ms. Laney of being an alcoholic, Ms. Coco of being a car thief, and Mrs. Patty of being an animal killer. | |

Running Gag | |
| My Weird School / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: AJ taking things literally and everyone laughing at him. The kids speculate that the school staff member of the book is actually an evil person. Andrea boasting about her extracurricular activities. Emily running out of the room crying. The kids laughing at a funny word. AJ's friends teasing him about his apparent crush on Andrea. AJ mishearing "violence" as "violins". The eleventh chapter of the math textbook, which is always interrupted by something. | |
