Read about the riotous misadventures of the most horrible students a boarding school ever saw in this new series by bestselling author R.L.

Stine. "Our students are rotten to the core." - Headmaster Upchuck.

Welcome to Rotten School, founded 100 years ago by I.

B. Rotten as a boarding school where students would grow and succeed intellectually, morally and physically as they prepared for a productive and happy future.

However, today our standards are a little less rigorous - we are simply happy if the students are still alive at the end of each day!

We think rivalry is healthy for our pupils, thus, Rotten School is divided into two warring groups: Bernie Bridges and his friends in Rotten House vs.

Sherman Oaks and his friends in Nyce House. In this story, Bernie Bridges wants to go to the Rotten School dance with April-May June, the prettiest, snobbiest girl in school.

But April-May says she doesn't go out with troublemakers!

So Bernie has to do something he has never done before.

Bernie has to be good! No problem - Bernie does his homework, reads poetry instead of playing pool, and stays out of the big food fight.

But then comes his biggest challenge - the super-slimy slug race. Bernie knows Sluggo, his champion slug, can win. Does Bernie have what it takes to stay out of the race?
