Search - Wayside School is Falling Down

Another great addition to the Wayside Schools series. My 9 year old read this book in a day. He absolutely loves this series and reads and rereads the books. I read these as a kid and found it hilarious-it has truly stood the test of time.

Great for reading to your younger kids or for a young adult to read by themselves. There are a bunch of very silly stories that are short enough to keep childrens' attention while still being detailed enough to create a beleivable alternate reality. Probably my favorite young adults' book.

Sachar deliversa again with the kids at Wayside school ... hilarious ... simply hilarious ...

My daughter is nine, and she enjoyed this book, just like I did when I was her age. We can't wait to get our hands on the rest of the series!

I read this book when I was in the 1st or 2nd grade (or had it read to me). I know at that time I loved the story, and especially loved each character and the way they were illustrated and depicted in the book. Wayside school is definitely a wacky place to be educated, but leads to awesome adventures for the characters as well as readers.
Eventually, we read this book to pieces and unfortunately lost it in a big move. I missed this book, I really really wanted to read it over and over again. One day I found it in a Goodwill and bought it for a dollar or so. Once I brought it home and began to read it I was overwhelmed with all of the memories this book held for me.
Yes, it's a younger person's type of book and I am 19... but this is one of those books that children don't forget, it's the kind they beg to be read to them over and over.
