Summary: The Stories Get Even Wackier
Review: The stories about Mrs. Jewls' class get even wackier in the third book about the school that was built sideways. In "Wayside School Gets A Little Stranger", we start off knowing that Wayside School was closed for 243 days (excuse me if I'm not right). Then it finally re-opens and all the kids are overjoyed. Over the next couple of weeks, Dameon notices something different about Mrs. Jewls. She tells the class she is going to have a baby, so that means they're going to have a substitue teacher (or a couple). The first one, Mr. Gorf, can in-hale people's voices up his nose. The next, Mrs. Drazil, Louis' former teacher, makes Louis civilized and can really be quite mean. The last one, Ms. Nogard, has an ear on her head, and falls in love with Louis. This was a great book and I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.

Summary: They're Back For Another Sequel!
Review: They're wacky! They're Fun! They're on the 30th story? Yup! Wayside was built up instead of across. Best written book comedy ever! You must have the other two parts to understand this third part. Great story telling

Summary: Jump rope rhymes
Review: Thirty more chapters in the story of Wayside School, which is thirty stories high since it was accidentally built on its side. This is a great book, and probably my favorite in the Wayside School series. The stories are phenomenally quirky, and maintain an upbeat sense of optimism without preaching at all. Nearly all of the chapters work as stand-alone stories, although their degree of interrelatedness grows towards the end. For me, there were two standout stories. In the first, a boy is sent to the counselor because he can't stop himself from pulling Leslie's pigtails. He is hypnotized to stop, but also to see her ears as delicious candy when she uses the word pencil. In the last few paragraphs, Leslie breaks her pencil point, sharpens it, and then drops it beneath Paul's desk, but never uses the word pencil, ending the story without the expected climax. In the other one, a substitute teacher arrives with a third nostril, through which he sucks up the voice of every child as he or she speaks. Eventually the cafeteria worker Miss Mush saves the day with a Pepper-Pie-induced sneezing fit returning things to normal. I am so glad that one of Sachar's books was made into a movie that I enjoyed, because otherwise I would never have heard of him.
The Good and the Bad:
The writing is accessible and funny, to both young people and adults. The level of silliness is perfect, although there is one schmaltzy moment at the end that seemed out of whack with the rest of the book. But since this is an isolated incident, I'll give it a pass; kids will probably eat it up anyhow, and a book of thirty stories can afford to have one strong moral, I suppose.

Summary: TERRIFIC!
Review: This book is about the students in the 30th story of Wayside School. First you ought to know something: Wayside School was built sideways. It had 30 stories. The 30th story is the best. Something freaky happens. The students on the 30th floor once had a teacher named Ms. Gorf. She was horrible. They got rid of her. Then, a substitute came. Guess the name. The name was Mr. Gorf. The students go through an adventure and Mr. Gorf goes. However, when a teacher goes, a new teacher comes. And a new teacher came. It was Ms. Drazil. Soon, she goes too. Then, like I said before, when a teacher goes, another teacher comes. That's what happened. Ms. Norgard comes, and trouble comes along with her. Don't miss this book! It's definitely worth the money.

Summary: GREAT BOOK
Review: This book is great for kids.The characters in the story are great. For example Mrs. Drazil sounds like Brazil, and people made fun of her. Another is Miss. Nogard. She can read people's minds or tell they are thinking. The school sounds real fun. My opinion is that this is a great book. I felt great about reading this book. It opened me up to new places and things.It also gave me a great idea on writing a little story. I would like you to read this book.You will love this book. It is nice for the family to read. Please go to the nearest library or book store and read this book.

Summary: Is not as good as the first two
Review: This book is not as good as the first two, but the first two were so great that it doesn't mean this one is BAD. But Louis Sachar wrote the first two with such originality and zaniness that it is hard, even for him, to live up to those standards. And every story in his first two was so different from the others you didn;t know WHAT to expect. He strays from the normal with this one by focusing on the teachers instead of the students, and that's not as good, because there's not as much you can do with teachers as you can with students. It's still different, and has it's moments, but this is just another example of how sequels can't live up to the original.
Rating:
Summary: Very, very good
Review: This book is very, very good! It's 100% hilarious. Maybe you won't laugh yourself silly, but you'll think it's funny, anyway. It's too bad Louis Sachar doesn't write any more of this great series.

Summary: Quite a Delight
Review: This book, "Wayside School Gets a Little Stranger", by Louis Sachar, is a very amusing book. I first read it when I was about ten years old, and I thought it was the funniest book ever written. I enjoyed this book because it contained a lot of humour, and Louis Sachar is quite a clever author. When I say he is clever, I refer to the chapter where the students bring their pets to school, and how he introduces a character, who later on appears in the story, always somehow affiliated with the students. This book is great for kids, and I still happen to read this book every once in a while. I've probably read through it a dozen times since I purchased it, four years ago.
