"Does anyone else remember that heavenly smell of newsprint in school when you fill out your order form for your book club? And your moms neatly signed check in your chubby fist, paper clipped to your book mark sized list ready to turn in. *batts eyes* And the excitement when you see piles and piles of books rubber banded together knowing your about to get your hands on your own stack. Sorry, got lost in a moment."

" When the boy said what tattoo he got, I laughed out loud for a while and got a confused look from my Dad! :) I'm excited my little stepbrother is reading it now! "
— Holly, 2/5/2014" This book made me laugh my head off! It was ah-dorable and so cute! Oh, Gawd, I wish there was more to the series! Everything happens in this silly book...why aren't there more like it? "
— Courtney, 2/2/2014" I like this book. Wayside School is a weird school, no Ms. Jewls' class is weird. There is a new student who's name is Benjamin. He tells everyone his name is Mark Miller when he introduces himself. He believes that his name sounds funny. Every chapter has something weird in it and is something totally different from other chapters. there are more students who are wacky and weird. "
— Mahin711, 1/25/2014" My second favorite, which I guess my favorites go according to what's next in the series. But these books are some of my favorites!! "
— Cassidy, 1/20/2014" I LOVE this book. I remember reading it when I was a kid. It's so funny!! "
— Victoria, 1/19/2014" a funny book to read my favorite part is when alison goes tonthe nineteenth story and also the 3 erics story "
— Valeria, 1/17/2014" This book is the third in the series about Wayside School. Wayside School is a strange school that is 30 stories tall. The classroom at the very top, room 30, is the focus of the stories. The book is basically a compilation of short stories about the students in room 30 and the events that take place involving room 30. I believe this book is a nice addition to the classroom library I am creating. I love Louis Sachar, so I will be collecting quite a few of his books. "
— Sarah, 1/17/2014" Another sweet set of short stories just for fun. "
— Ki, 1/8/2014" Loved it of course. See the 1st review "
— Remi, 1/8/2014" oh god, such a good book. in some sections like the one wear that kid couldn't count but could, it couldn't figure out if it was symbolism or jut plain stupid...i mean funny. and i know it's for children but it's such an ironically hilarious book, i couldn't stay away. "
— Hillary, 11/22/2013" This is the second of the wayside school stories. It was fun to read although we read it out of order. Andre really likes these books. "
— Melanie, 11/15/2013" The stories in the first Wayside School book was zany, but this installment of the series is just plain weird. Beware the story of the nonconsensual kisses after ingesting mushroom surprise from the school lunchroom and the one where the teacher tapes a kid's mouth shut. "
— Needleroozer, 11/7/2013" These stories were my favorite in second grade! "
— Kelly, 10/28/2013" I know I read this one too but I can't remember anything about it. So it goes. "
— Erika, 10/16/2013" Again, super cute and love listening to audio books with the kids. "
— J.J., 9/22/2013" I loved these books when I was little. Good memories! "
— Gab, 3/16/2013" One of my favorite books as a kid. "
— Sharae, 3/13/2013" I loved these books growing up and I remember this one particularly well. Great read aloud books for the younger ones and also great for the older set who can read. "
— Emmy, 3/10/2013" that's as crazy as my school minus 24 floors! "
— Grace, 3/9/2013" Again, this was a fav of mine from eons ago. "
— Tordle, 10/24/2012" Haven't read this book since I was a kid, but I remember it being one of my all time favorites. "
— Amanda, 9/19/2012" Somehow I missed these books and never read them so one of my student workers read it to me...a lot of fun. "
— Karla, 3/3/2012" I love this book. It is very funny!! "
— Kiera, 1/12/2012" this is another good book filled with laughes if your not a fan of comedy this isn't your book "
— Mishelle, 7/28/2011" It was hard to get Matt to sit still for a story, but this one really grabbed his interest. His teacher read it in class and then he wanted to read it again at home. I know, crazy huh. Not, my cup of tea. But, anything that can get a boy to read has to be worth something. "
— Kaylynn, 7/8/2011" Listened to 3 Wayside audiobooks narrated by Mr. Sachar himself! Awesome! Definitely want to share these with the 4th graders...great for reluctant readers! "
— Jeanette, 5/18/2011" This book was interesting.... if you like to read humorous stories than this is the best book for you! "
— Lauren, 5/8/2011" This was my favorite childhood book!!! I think I'm going to read it as an adult! "
— Simone, 4/24/2011" No one likes their own flavored ice cream... "
— Jacob, 2/26/2011" Just about the best children's fiction out there! The running gags, the oddball students and faculty, the fun absurdity that never becomes potty humor... these are probably some of the funniest books I've ever read, let alone in my childhood. Shout out to dead rats and potato ankle tattoos. "
— Charlie, 2/17/2011" oh i use to love these "
— Jennifer, 1/4/2011" I love this series each chapter is based on a different thing but you will find out that if you have read the chapter before carefully you can find clues to answering the chapter you are on even though its a different topic. They still have something in common. "
— Dnguyen17, 1/1/2011" I like this book because it has a lot of comedy and humor. Also every kid has a different personality "
— Tremayne, 12/14/2010" These funny stories made me laugh the whole time I was reading it! I have read the whole series twice, because I love all the students and Miss Jewls and all their crazy stories. I recommend these books for people who love humor. "
— Lainie, 10/8/2010" I read these when I was a kid and the were quite funny. "
— Britni, 9/25/2010" Probably the most hilarious book or audiobook we've read/listened together. My only reservation is that the words "stupid" and "idiot" appear more than I'd love them to. "
— Hannah, 9/9/2010" I loved these books when I was young! "
— Agata, 8/16/2010" soooo funny! the kids and I laughed alot listening to it in the car driving back and forth to summer activities. "
— Melissa, 7/7/2010" Soooo funny! I love Louis Sachar's sense of humor with these. Loved the arrangement of the first book with the short chapters about each student. Saw a play of this with my students one year at the South Coast Repertory Theater and it made a great production. "
— Lara, 7/2/2010" I love this book it's so funny I have too read it again! "
— Feryaal, 6/2/2010" I loved these books when I was a kid. I read them so many times I still know all the stories! "
— Rebecca, 4/26/2010" Only listened to the first book, but it was a really great little book about a crazy school with crazy students... :) A book every kid would enjoy and therefore should read! :) "
