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?
This book and others in the Rotten School series have kept my 9 year old son interested in reading. They are funny and have simple plots that he can understand and relate to. He picks them up without prompting and reads them quite frequently. This is very important in my case as we live in Costa Rica and he gets most of his information in Spanish. This book helps keeps him using and thinking in English.

My son, 10 y.o., will read if necessary, when he has to. Until we stumbled upon the "Rotten School" series by R.L. Stine (16 books)- now he will read, just to read! Finally, he has learned the joy of reading (I'm a reader) that I have tried to instill in him from the day he was born. He has read excerpts from the book to me and I can understand why he likes them, they hit his funnybone and make him laugh - but at least he's reading! We bought the whole series at once after he was only half way through one book. He would also recommend "Diary of a Whimpy Kid" - there are 2 books out now, a third is to be release later this year.
