Mr. Aidact, a new teacher at Brightling Middle School, at first seems a little strange, but as the year goes by he becomes the most popular teacher in the school. He coaches the field hockey team, he covers detention every afternoon, he can answer any trivia question correctly, and he can stop any spitball from flying. Oliver and Nathan, famously good at pranks, decide to find out more about their new teacher and they uncover a secret that they're not sure they want to let out. I don't want to spoil the whole book in this review, so that's all I'll say about Mr. Aidact. Just know that this is a classic Gordon Korman book. Kids get put into a strange situation and they triumph with humor and heart. I think middle schoolers will like this book, but it skews younger, so definitely good for elementary schoolers as well. Thank you Gordon Korman for all your many books that bring so much pleasure to middle schoolers!
