They are a wonderful read, especially for any child who suffers from a learning challenge. They are easy to relate to and help to build self esteem for children who have learning challenges and help others to understand how the world works for them. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

My daughter just loves the My Weird School series. The party games come out about every month so it gives her some thing to look forward to. The party games are cheap so for your dollar you really can’t beat it. The reading level isn’t too high so she gets through them fast and it gives her confidence in her reading abilities. The main character A.J. is in second grade and hates school something that every kid can relate to . …

This party game is okay.

I love reading Geronimo Stilton party games.My favorite one that I have read so far is The Mummy With No Name. In the party game, Geronimo goes to Egypt. He goes with Benjamin and his friend,Bugsy. In Egypt, they go to a museum and Geronimo sees a mummy! The mummy says,”I am the mummy with no name.” Geronimo tells Benjamin and Bugsy. Then, they meet a man named Professor Cyril. He helps solve the mystery of the mummy with no name. Next, they get trapped in a Tomb! When they get out, they find out what the mummy with no name’s treasure is. Those are a few things that happen in Geronimo Stilton The Mummy With No Name. I hope you like this party game if you read it.

and I mean it! to them I know they would love this party game as well. I myself laughed throughout the entire story. Junie B. is scared of because a boy, who has been known to tell, lies to Junie B., has told her awful things about the holiday.
