Wayside School Gets a Little Stranger

Wayside School Gets a Little Stranger is a middle grade book that can be enjoyed by everyone. There are some incredible puns in this book, including right in the title. I read it as a bedtime story to my teens and the three of us laughed so much. It’s just a really clever book (like the first two). I very highly recommend it to people of all ages. It makes a truly excellent read aloud.

My 10 yo son started out reading the first Sideways stories and he liked it so much I had to get him this one. He HATES to read so finding this was like finding a goldmine. The stories are short and straight to the point, they don't drag on so it keeps his interest and oftentimes the stories are pretty good. These books would even be good to read to your kids because they are short and to the point and I even enjoy them (sometimes Dad isn't trying to read a chapter book for bed when the chapters are longer than you want). If you're finding your kid is struggling with reading or you're even trying to read to them to show them that it can be fun then I recommend these books. Heck read them to your kids to get them into books if you have to. I think my son sees a big book and goes "no way I'm reading all that". With these short stories he isn't intimidated by it. Often one story will be so good and short that he moves to the next one and keeps going because he wants to see what the next story will be. I need to find more books like this.

I like a the funny parts, me and my sister love these books! Only books we will read!!!!!!!!

My 8 yo reader is advanced for her age. We have Grandmas book club and I sent her the series one book a month. She read this one in one sitting. It really tickled her sense of humor. I’ll send the math books next.

I like this book because when you start to just read the book, your expressions all come out and you can just feel sadness and happiness in the book.

I like the book because it was funnyI would recommend it to my friend ElsaI think it’s the best we start school yet

Wayside School Gets a Little Stranger is a fictional short story chapter book. It belongs to the Wayside School series. It is written for elementary schoolers or older. The author, Louis Sachar, practiced law and likes to write. All the books in the Wayside School series trick your mind and make you confused. The short stories in this book really make you think. You will meet characters like:-the 3 Erics, who like to mess around-Mac, who's always interrupting and-Ron, who is stupid.Louis Sachar likes to play tricks on and confuse his readers, but that makes readers think and have their own opinions about what's going to happen. I liked this book because it was funny. It had things that weren't true, like UFOs. I especially liked when Louis, the silly yard teacher, turns into Mr. Poop, the Professional Playground Supervisor.You should read this book if you like fiction and adventure. I rate this book five stars because there is a lot of funniness... and ears!

We had read the first two Sideways books and were hoping there were more. Luckily, there are two books. Six year old grandson LOVES these books!

１巻目の★３つから始まり，２巻目は★４つ，そして，ついに，３巻目のこの本には★５つを付けてしまいました。しかも，「やさしたくさん」とはこのことでしょうか。とっても簡単な英語で書かれているので，もともと，するする読めるものなのですけど，不思議と，だんだんと読むスピードが上がります。でもって，今回のラストはとってもハッピーです。

はちゃめちゃ具合の度が増して、ますます面白くなっています。英語の読みやすさはそのままに、笑いのツボが高度になってきてるのはさすが。1篇1篇が短い上に、オチが面白いのでどんどん読めます。英語ならではの面白さがあるので、英語が苦手でもぜひ頑張って読んでみるとよいと思います。お勧めは「ペット」の巻。2度読むと分かります。

１９階がない３０階建てのはちゃめちゃ学校ウェイサイドスクール。こうしたシリーズは、巻を重ねる毎に『ネタ切れ』を感じさせる場合が多いのだけれど、このシリーズに限ってはその心配はなく、ますます笑いにも皮肉にも磨きがかかってパワーアップ！！　　　面白かったけれど、騒々しさも感じさせた前作、全然作と比べ、今回は登場人物の個性もより鮮やかに描き分けられ、校長先生も良い味を出してきました。また各章毎に笑いのツボががらっと変わり飽きさせません。どんな落ちが付いているかと、ついもう一章、もう一章と読まされてしまいます。笑いをこらえられない人は、電車の中で読むのは危険でしょう。

うーん、前作が素晴らしい出来だっただけに、ここまで急激に質が落ちるものかと、がっかりだった第3作。ただでさえ登場人物が多いのに、全然活かし切れないまま新キャラクターをどんどん追加するさま、ネタ切れ作品の典型的な症状がつらいね。オチも全然しまりがなく、ピリッとしない話ばかり。独特の世界感は健在なので、ファンなら最後まで見届ける価値はあろうかなと思うけれども。

確かにおもしろい内容ですが、登場人物が多いので会話の一つ一つが誰の会話であるかわからなくなりますので注意が必要！！
