 Title of book: Wayside School Gets A Little Stranger
Author: Louis Sachar
Summary of story: This is third in The Wayside School Series after Sideways Stories from Wayside School (1978) and Wayside School is Falling Down (1989).
Back from spending 243 days in horrible schools while Wayside shut its doors to get rid of the cows, the kids are once again creating havoc again on every floor. Miss Much is causing a terrible commotion on the 30th floor with all sorts of animals and an orange named Fido; the students in Mrs. Drazil's class are throwing a coffeepot, a sack of potatoes, a pencil sharpener, and a light bulb out the window to see which hits the ground first; and Mrs. Jewls (surprise, surprise) is expecting a baby named Cootie Face or Bucket Head.
What I like about this book: It is funny and exciting. The characters are quite interesting and always funny. My favorite character is DeeDee and she has a tendency of calling her dog "cat". My favorite story is "Ears" about a girl named Wendy who has three ears and her third one is able to listen to other people's thoughts. I wish I could do that!
Why I will recommend it to my friends: Wayside is very different from other schools and every character in it is funny which makes reading it fun!
