In 4th grade, Leon (chip aficionado) created a sort of voodoo doll of a teacher that really worked, making her act even more unusually than ever. During the summer before 5th grade Leon attempted another doll of the bully that harasses him. Try as they might, Leon and this friends can't figure out why the doll doesn't compel the bully to do the actions they make the doll do. In comes the new science teacher who uses potato chips to teach the kids about science experiments and inspires Leon to keep trying to figure out what he is doing wrong.
Too odd for my tastes, but I do have admiration for the science teacher's attempt to excite his class about the scientific method.
Upper elementary.

My teacher read this to my class in 5th grade, and it was a good book but I felt like the plot was not that interesting. It was kind of a story with no exciting parts in it.

A fun read if you have read the first book and very creative at times but not nearly as enjoyable or unique as the prequel.

Oh my gosh, I remember reading this book in fifth grade! It was my favorite book at the time, because I must've read it at least half a dozen times. Glad it showed up again :) I would definitely recommend to any elementary school student such as I was looking for a funny and clever read.

All I remember is that it wasn't my kind of humor.
