Gary Goody has just the wrong name for this school where the idea is always to misbehave. Poor Gary keeps on getting it wrong either by behaving well or by being polite. The scrapes that he gets into are so zany that readers will not be copying them! The cartoon style illustrations have that touch of anarchy which complements the character of the book well; it could easily be a book to encourage reluctant readers.
