Strangeville School Is Definitely Not Cursed

Get ready for side-splitting laughter and quirky adventures at Strangeville Middle School in Darcy Miller's uproarious "Strangeville School Is Definitely Not Cursed"! Perfect for young readers craving a healthy dose of humor, mystery, and a touch of the bizarre, this highly illustrated chapter book series is drawing comparisons to the beloved "Sideways Stories from Wayside School," but with its own unique brand of whimsical chaos. New kid Harvey Hill is finding his footing at Strangeville Middle School, a place where the ordinary takes a permanent vacation. But just when he starts to feel comfortable, a glowing, sentient lost-and-found box materializes in the cafeteria, unleashing a whirlwind of weirdness. Is it just another Tuesday at Strangeville, or is there something more sinister at play? Rumors of a 50-year-old curse swirl through the hallways, and while practical classmate Nevaeh tries to find rational explanations for the sentient robots and suddenly flooded hallways, Harvey and his friend Stella suspect something supernatural is afoot. They are determined to uncover the truth behind the strange happenings plaguing their school. The book is a hilarious blend of fantasy and realistic middle-school experiences. Miller skillfully weaves together the anxieties of fitting in, navigating friendships, and dealing with the absurdities of school life with the fantastical elements of a potential curse and the outlandish events occurring within the walls of Strangeville Middle. The illustrations add to the humorous reading experience. Will Harvey and Stella be brave enough to confront the possibility of a curse (which, of course, *totally* doesn't exist)? Or is Strangeville doomed to an eternity of bizarre happenings? Find out in this laugh-out-loud adventure that celebrates friendship, courage, and the power of embracing the unexpected.
