Fan-favorite author Dan Gutman has won numerous awards for his children's books, and his work has been listed among the ALA Popular Paperbacks for Young People. In Miss Small Is Off the Wall, A.J.'s gym teacher is acting really weird, teaching the class to do the Chicken Dance instead of a normal activity like dodgeball. And the other grown-ups at A.J.'s school seem to have something wrong with them, too. Somehow, A.J. and his classmates have got to convince Miss Small to act her age before the end of the year!
