"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."

    " 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. "

    " 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. "

    " 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. "

    " 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. "

    " 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. "
