Sideways Stories from Wayside School

Title: Sideways Stories from Wayside School

Author: Louis Sachar

Summary: The first of the Wayside School series, but they really could be read in any order. The 2-3 page chapters each tell about one of the students who goes to school on the thirtieth floor, and every single chapter has a twist that will make kids want to keep reading and parents scratch their head, reread, and shake their heads chuckling while they start the next page.

Recommendation: Yes - fast, funny, and it makes your brain work at the same time. Why can't all kids books have something to think about imbedded in them?
