Summary: Sideways Stories for Wayside School
Review:
If you are a wonderful reader and you like chapter books, I have a good book for you to read it is called Sideways Stories for Wayside School.This wonderful book is by Louis sachar. This book has 30 chapters filled with fun and excitment. In those 30 chapters it talks about different kids in just one class. This book has a lot of weird and crazy things in it like in the first chapter, that teacher is coockoo crazy! If you moved or did anything she didn't like you would become an apple. I would recommend this book to anyone because I know how people love to laugh and this book would make them laugh. I hope they enjoyed this book like I did.

Review: I received this book twenty years ago in my monthly weekly reader mailings and thought it was the funniest book ever! Now I am passing on this great book to my seven year old stepdaughter. It will be fun to see another generation reading such a great book!

Summary: Awkward but a Great Story!
Review: I recently dug this book out from beneath a lot of my childhood stuff. My dad read it to me when I was just a little kid; at 18, I just reread it, and enjoyed it as much, if not more so--because now I could read between the lines.

Thirty chapters. Each one is like a fable--an entertaining story, a nugget of truth woven into the fabric of each one. Peer pressure, politeness, standing up for yourself...sometimes the lessons are direct, sometimes they are subtle. Maybe kids won't understand them exactly, but they'll certainly remember the stories and remember the lessons thus.

The story:

There is something very wrong with Wayside School. It was built sideways--instead of one story with 30 rooms, is has 30 stories and one room per story. No nineteenth story, though, meaning that Miss Zarves, who teaches there, doesn't exist, either.

At Wayside, students have the tendency to get turned into apples; those pesky dead rats, who live in the basement, are always trying to get into class; sleeping through class is considered educational; turning the lights on and off is a task not just anyone can do; you can help yourself to ice cream with the flavor of your fellow students, but please refrain from biting your classmates; the lunch lady just can't ruin milk, no matter how hard she tries; mosquito bites are great for counting purposes; your two missing teeth are the best in the whole world, as are the hat you aren't wearing and the joke you didn't tell; only being able to read upside down ain't much of a problem, after all; where toes cost a nickel apiece, unless they're little runts; trading names consists of spinning around really fast until you don't know who's who; if two plus two doesn't equal four, watch out; and where you need a reason to be sad, but not to be happy.

"Sideways Stories From Wayside School" by Lous Sachar is a classic. Buy it, for your kid, your sibling, your niece/nephew, or yourself. It's entertaing for all ages, and just might help its reader become a better person.

Summary: Memories
Review: This book brings back memories. I used to read it all of the time when I was a child. I would check it out from my school's library almost every chance I got. I had forgotten about this book, because it has been a while since I was in the 2nd or 3rd grade. I'm 22 now. I ran across it while surfing the net and the memories started flooding back. I think that any child would love to read this book and it will become one of their favorites.

Review: This book is one of the best books I've ever read! Although the second one was better! This was a great comedy book! The Wayside School kids are crazy! The weird thing is, at the end of all their books they say something that rimes with ooooooo! Anyways, I loved this book, and if you wanna get into a book for a long time cause you have to read or you just want to, this is a great book to read!

Review: This story is about a weird mixed up school that was built thewrong way. That may be why all funny things happen at Waysideschool.Especiallyon the 13th floor. On the 13th floor there's Ms.Gorf who turns all of her students into apples. And there's Todd who always gets sent home early and John who can only read upside down and there's Sammy But he is really a dead rat. I love this story because there's some stuff that don't usually happen in our school. E ND
