Master of horror R.L. Stine returns to his comedy roots in this laugh-out-loud, rotten-to-the-core, wildly popular chapter book series about the crazy antics at Rotten School!

Bernie Bridges, the most popular fourth grader at Rotten School, has got it made with loyal friends, a girlfriend (even if she pretends she’s not), and even a heated waterbed! But what Bernie doesn’t have is a solid-gold digital watch with forty-two functions like his archrival Sherman Oaks.

But Bernie has a plan to get it. Bernie always has a plan! It’s time for a blueberry pie eating contest. Winner takes all!

Packed with three dozen hilariously disgusting half-tone illustrations by Trip Park, readers won’t be able to resist the madness at Rotten School—where good is good, bad is better, and rotten is the absolute best!

Angel Goodeboy is a perfect angel . . .

You can almost picture a halo over his head! He even wears a T-shirt that says "Mommy''s Little Angel."

Bernie Bridges is horrified when Mrs. Heinie makes him share his room with Angel. She wants Angel''s goodness to rub off on Bernie. But wait a minute—when no teachers are watching, Angel is no angel!

The little sneak takes over Bernie''s room. He steals away Bernie''s friends. He charms Bernie''s girlfriend. Everyone loves Angel—even Bernie''s pets! There''s only one way for Bernie to rule the school again. He''s got to get rid of this kid! But how do you get rid of an angel?

Bernie Bridges has always dreamed about going to PPP—the exclusive Preppy Prep Prep school. All the kids at PPP are rich, rich, rich! And if there is one thing that Bernie loves it''s money, money, money!

But how will Bernie get to PPP? All he and his buddies have to do is win the National School Make-a-Great-Invention Contest, and off they go to PPP for a week to compete in the final round. There''s just one problem—their best ideas are a Hamster on a Stick and a light-up comb!

With a little scheming and a lot of luck, Bernie and his guys manage to win their school contest. But when they get to Preppy Prep Prep, Bernie must come up with yet another invention—this one cleverer than the first. No sweat!

But the filthy rich PPP kids are smarter and sneakier than any kid at Rotten School.

Has Bernie finally met his match?

Hey! Where Is Everyone?

That''s what Bernie Bridges wants to know when he can''t find any of his friends. Everyone has disappeared! And when he finally does find them, they''re acting really weird. For instance, his shy friend Chipmunk thinks he is a fearless warrior, and football star Jennifer Ecch thinks she is a princess. What is going on?

Soon Bernie realizes that everyone at Rotten School is acting! They are all playing parts in a big battle. A battle between the Dum Diddys and the Knighty Knight Knights. But it''s not a real fight. It''s a video game called Wungo Warriors—and everyone has to pay that spoiled rich kid Sherman Oaks to play.

Bernie can''t let Sherman get away with this. He has a plan to outsmart Sherman—by bringing the Wungo Warriors to life!

What Bernie doesn''t know, though, is that a real-life battle between the Dum Diddys and the Knighty Knight Knights could shut down Rotten School forever.

The most popular dude in school?

It has to be Bernie Bridges. Just ask him!

Bernie wants to win the Most Popular Rotten Student of the Year title. But first he has to prove he''s the most popular dude on campus. How? Easy. He''ll get Jennifer Ecch, the yearbook photographer, to follow him around. All she has to do is snap pictures of him being popular.

When that doesn''t work, Bernie decides to throw himself the biggest birthday party ever.

But, look out, Bernie . . . .

Some birthday parties turn out to be surprise parties!

Why are the Rotten School kids screaming in terror?

Maybe it''s because everyone on campus is making a horror movie!

Bernie Bridges wants to make the most terrifying film of all. If he does, he''ll win a part in the famous director B.A. Gool''s next film: EEK III: Revenge of the Warts.

Bernie thinks he''s got some great creepy ideas. But he''s better watch out on Halloween night—it''s going to be a real scream!

Bernie Bridges is the luckiest kid at Rotten School. He wins every game he plays, doesn''t get into any trouble, and even finds money! So what''s the catch? For the good luck to stick, Bernie has to keep his parrot, Lippy, on his shoulder wherever he goes.

Lippy''s luck is so powerful that Bernie''s friends, Feenman and Crench, want in, too. But the minute they touch Lippy, everything changes—Lippy turns into a bad-luck bird.

Now nothing Bernie does goes right. Bad luck follows him wherever he goes. There''s only one solution, thinks Bernie. He''ll give the bird away to his archrival, Sherman Oaks.

But hold on! Now Sherman is having all the good luck in the world. Has Bernie made a big mistake? Can he get both his bird and his good luck back—or has his luck run out for good?

Buffalo wings of steel!

Just how stupid is Stupid Chicken? Bernie Bridges thinks the superfowl cartoon character is a dumb cluck! And the same goes for his chirpy sidekick, Little Cluck-Cluck.

But why not make a buck from a cluck? Bernie tries to sell Stupid Chicken T-shirts to his pals.

One problem—half the school hates Stupid Chicken. Their hero is Drastic Duck, the Caped Quacker.

Now Bernie finds himself caught in the middle of the battle between the Clucks and the Quacks!

Sherman Oaks Is A Rat.
