About the author

The author of over 80 books in a little over a decade of writing, Dan Gutman has written on topics from computers to baseball. Beginning his freelance career as a nonfiction author dealing mostly with sports for adults and young readers, Gutman has concentrated on juvenile fiction since 1995. His most popular titles include the time-travel sports book Honus and Me and its sequels, and a clutch of baseball books, including The Green Monster from Left Field. From hopeful and very youthful presidential candidates to stunt men, nothing is off limits in Gutman's fertile imagination. As he noted on his author Web site, since writing his first novel, They Came from Centerfield, in 1994, he has been hooked on fiction. "It was fun to write, kids loved it, and I discovered how incredibly rewarding it is to take a blank page and turn it into a WORLD."

Gutman was born in New York City in 1955, but moved to Newark, New Jersey the following year and spent his youth there.

Читаю в НЙ книги для третьеклассников; проходя по 17 километров в день, только на такое и способна.

This is a good, fast and easy to read book, with a big twist at the end. But I feel like Andrea went a little too far with the zombie costume. And Aj’s parents should have been a part of deciding whether he was a supermodel. All in all, this book is good for any reader.

It was picture day and Ms. Joni was the photographer. She took photos because that's what a photographer does. She did a lot of crazy stuff. In the book, there was a girl named Andrea and she dressed up as a picture day monster and ripped up all the pages that Ms. Joni had taken of AJ because he had become a supermodel and Andrea wanted to be one, but AJ got to be it.

It's Picture Day at Ella Mentry School! And the photographer wants to make A.J. into a supermodel.

Another fun installment of the series. While a lot of parts in the series seem repetitive to me as an adult, my seven-old-year son still enjoys the books.

Totally inappropriate when Ms Joni wants AJ to put on a bathing suit and be a model on a sports magazine. Seems like his parents should be involved in that decision. And also it makes Ms Joni seem like a creep.

Its funny because she makes a boy a supermodel, and in his photo he only wears pants and no top! (L, aged 5)

Read to Addy! The boys (Austin & Tyler) loved this series and now Addy’s hooked 🎣 — Trenton isn’t far behind! 😉

[Amelia · Rating 4 out of 5]

I think this book was funny. At the end I felt bad for A.J though because he couldn't be a supermodel after all, and he was supposed to be.

Good story but...

The book kept glitching on my Kindle and said I was at page 500 like what the heck it just kept turning back to the first page. My advice? Don't get this book on kindle app.
