Summary: Ms. Watt's Class Book Review
Review: Our class liked the part of the book where Ms. Gorff turned the kids into apples. We learned that there isn't any ninetenth story in a building and that buildings aren't upside down. Everyone thought the book was very funny. The book taught us not to be by a window because you might fall out. Our class learned about math and gravity when we read this book. Everyone should read this book because it was fun to read.

Summary: A great time
Review: Come and sit in Mrs. Jewls class at Wayside School. Just don't be bad or it will get you an early ride home on the Kindergarden bus. I have been reading these books to my 2nd grade class and it is hard to tell who has been laughing more, me or them. Great books full of memorable characters, who will brighten up the day. Just remember the rules, three strikes under the word DISCIPLINE, and you ride the bus. Let the kids (and adults) enjoy these hilarious books!

Summary: ***AWESOME BOOK :)
Review: :)THIS IS ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVIORITE BOOKS I'VE READ. IT IS SUCH A CUTE STORY AND I COULD NEVER PUT IT DOWN... I'VE READ THIS BOOK ABOUT 3 TIMES. EACH STORY IS BETTER THAN THE NEXT AND I LOVED THE WACKY TEACHING METHODS OF MRS.JEWL'S. I WISH I COULD GIVE IT MORE THAN JUST 5 STARS. I WOULD-WITHOUT A DOUBT- RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO ANYONE WHO NEEDS A LAUGH :)

Summary: Good for non-readers.
Review: This book was a great story for my son. It keep his attention. He needs to read a certain amount of books each semester for Language Arts class 5th grade. He hates to read. I have to really search to find books to keep his attention. He loved the small chapters. The different charaters made him stay interested to the end. My 3rd grade daughter also like the book. Both children receive 100% on test.

Summary: How does Louis Sachar make all these great books?
Review: The school was supposed to be room by room next to each other, but instead the rooms are all on top of each other. Every chapter is a story about a different person in the school. My favorite chapter is Chapter 19, about Miss Zarves. I'm also reading "Holes," which is also great.

Summary: Funny, Funny...
Review: It opens with children-turned apples turning their teacher, Mrs. Gorf, into an apple and giving her to their gym teacher, Louis (the author) to eat.Need I say more? This book is hilarious. I could just see kids I know going to a school thirty stories tall, with a classroom on each side, struggling through torturous mosquito bites, a teacher who thinks you're a monkey, and all sorts of kooky and downright hilarious characters. I could read this over and over. It is so realistic, yet oh so spacy. I first read this book when I was about seven or eight. I have read it over and over with each of my five younger siblings and it gets funnier each time. Sachar has a way of appealing to all audiences. Parents, the Wayside school series is the easiest way to get boob-tube obsessed kids to read a good book for a change. And it is a good book!

Summary: Creepy-funny
Review: Um, I liked SSFWS, all right, but I found the book to be very odd. Not purple-people-eater odd, but a-little-too-true odd. The book isn't just random silliness (although it does seem like it at times), but also very carefully disguised social commentary. I would liken it to Shel Silverstein or Dr. Seuss, in that, what at first seems like kooky insanity begins to morph into something much more, not sinister, but just a little too close to home. What really struck me about this book was that, despite the strangeness of his tales, Sancar obviously has an insiders eye when it comes to children, or a really good memory. The tales of the school tells about not only the students, but the teachers as well, with remarkable insight into the bizarre, rarely accurately observed world of elementary school in American suburbia. Oh sure, there are millions of stories about it, but few dare tread where this author goes with his story, and the results are, well, creepy-funny in a good way. It's like the anti-children's book, unrepentantly ammoral and without a tidy "happy ending" for each story. Oh yes, and, by the way, there's a story of the book for each story of the school. Few seem to notice that. The strangest thing about the book is not how the school is built, but how close the author consistantly gets to the things that make grade-schoolers tick. Few adults could understand how important it is for kids to get outside to recess fast enough to get the "good playgroud balls", or remember the strange kind of guilt that comes from stealing another kid's lunch. If you haven't read it, I would reccommend trying it at least once, if only to see how much you find yourself vividly remembering random episodes of your childhood in frightening detail.
