The Best School Year Ever (1994)
"The Herdmans are the most famous kids at
Woodrow Wilson School. In fact, they are the most famous kids in the
whole town -- and they are the worst kids in the history of the world.
They are dirty, rotten, lazy, and ornery. They tell lies and smoke
cigars and set fire to things. They stay away from school whenever
they want to and won't learn anything when they are there.
¶Every September the students and teachers
gear up for another year of dealing with the Herdmans. But no matter
what precautions are taken, these modern-day outlaws still manage to
cause hilarious mayhem year round. Their wild behavior always leads to
disaster for someone, but how all continually escape blame. Could
there something about this horrible clan state? ¶Barbara
Robinson first introduced the unforgettable Herdmans in The Best
Christmas Pageant Ever. Fans if this perennial favorite will not be
disappointed by its equally hilarious, brilliant sequel.

The Best Halloween Ever (2004)
The Herdmans plus Halloween have always spelled
disaster. Every year these six kids -- the worst in the history of
Woodrow Wilson School, and possibly even the world -- wreak havoc on
the whole town. They steal candy, spray-paint kids, and take anything
that's not nailed down. ¶Now
the mayor has had it. He's decided to cancel Halloween. There won't be
any Herdmans to contend with this year, but there won't be any candy,
either. And what's Halloween without candy? And without
trick-or-treating? The Herdmans manage to turn the worst Halloween
ever into the best Halloween ever in this uproarious sequel to The
Best Christmas Pageant Ever.
