This book reads just like one of the "My Weird School" books. Depending on how much you like that series that will probably pretty much determine how much you like this non-fiction grab bag entry. A.J. makes silly jokes, insults Andrea, and generally acts out in A.J. fashion. Andrea soldiers on, tossing the occasional zinger at A.J. but basically trying to deliver a straight story.If your young reader knows and loves the "My Weird School" series and the A.J. and Andrea characters then this book will probably appeal. It's fact based rather than a school daze adventure, but it has all of the energy and silliness of one of the "My Weird School" books. Because of the heavy emphasis on the A.J. and Andrea interaction, if your reader doesn't know that series then the book might feel a little confused. Then again, since it's just sports facts organized by sports categories it's not like the narrators are that important.Unlike the other book in this series, ("Geography"), there is no attempt to offer an introduction to some scientific topic. This is a collection of factoids and designed to be read like a really young reader bathroom book. The chapters include baseball, football, soccer, basketball, hockey, golf, auto racing and the Olympics and tend to focus on the fastest, longest, highest, and weirdest facts, which makes sense.My first impression was that the book was awfully light on facts, and mostly just a Weird School variant. And at least for me the unrelentingly smartmouth A.J., (and his "dumbhead" comments), gets old pretty fast. But, as I thought about it and considered the reading audience, (second to third or fourth grade?), I came to see that this book is more clever and informative than I at first gave it credit.
