Hilarious series of wacky stories from a US boarding school where naughty pranks and mischief rate much more highly than education. From bestselling US author, R.L. Stine. 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. When Bernie's friends start acting weird, it turns out they've all paid that rich kid Sherman Oaks to play parts in a video game called Wungo Warriors in which the Dum Diddys battle the Knighty Knight Knights. Bernie has a plan to outsmart Sherman -- by bringing the Wungo Warriors to life -- but what Bernie doesn't know is that a real-life battle could shut down Rotten School forever.
