Its time for Oliver and his best friend, Nathan, to show the new teacher whos boss.
But as the weeks go by, they start to realize that Mr. Aidact is not what they expected. He has an uncanny ability to remember song lyrics or trivia.

He never complains when other teachers unload work on himeven when its lunchroom duty and overseeing detention. Against all odds, Mr. Aidact starts to become the most popular teacher at Brightling.
Still, Oliver and Nathan know that something is fishy. Theyre determined to get to the bottom of the mystery: Whats the deal with Mr. Aidact
Reviews
"In this funny and provocative outing...Korman, as usual, takes the side of the kids. Relayed by multiple narrators, the tale offers both different perspectives on effective teaching methods and food for thought about the notion of "personhood."
-- Booklist (starred review)
"A school story with a twist, told with humor, insight, and empathy." -- Kirkus Reviews
"A keenly rendered, fast-paced read." -- Publishers Weekly
