Synopsis

Joe Sweety is the worst kind of bully -- big, mean, and always ready to use his fists. Chipmunk is the shiest, clumsiest kid at Rotten School. When Chipmunk is paired with Joe on the class trip, things get ugly -- and fast! Chipmunk spills his apple juice on Joe, he barfs on Joe, and he pulls down Joe's pants. All accidents, of course. But does Joe care? No way! He is out to get Chipmunk!

Bernie Bridges can't stand to see Chipmunk, one of his Rotten House guys, bullied by big, mean Sweety. So it's payback time -- and Bernie has a spook-tacular plan. It turns out that Sweety is scared of ghosts. Petrified! Bernie decides it's time for the Haunting of Joe -- with spooky messages on the computer, green protoplasm in his room, and a body-wrap in an eerie cocoon. Will Bernie's payback work? Will it scare Joe into niceness?

Chapter One

The Ghost Walks at Night!

Warning: If you're afraid of ghosts, you'd better stop here.

Because, dudes, Rotten School is haunted!

I should know. I'm the one who is haunting it.

You've probably heard of me. I'm Bernie Bridges, fourth-grade superstar. I don't like to brag. But how else can I describe myself?

Catch these dimples when I smile. Killer—right?

If you've heard of me, you've probably heard of Joe Sweety, too. Sweety is the biggest, meanest, fiercest, bulliest, smackdown kid at Rotten School. If he bites you, you definitely get rabies. No joke.

We call him The Big Sweety. He works out thirty hours a day. Really. Joe can bruise you with his hair!

He's huge! He even has muscles on his teeth! The fronts of his T-shirts all say EXTRA-WIDE LOAD.

Get the picture? Sweety is not a sweetie.

So, what does this have to do with the school being haunted? Who set the evil ghost loose? And why has it chosen Joe Sweety as its next victim? Well, don't get your boxers in a knot. You'll find out soon. I can't tell you everything in the first chapter—can I?

Let's start at the beginning. Our field trip to the zoo . . .
