    Louis Sachar

    When Louis Sachar was going to school, his teachers always pronounced his name wrong. Now that he has become a popular author of children’s books, teachers all over the country are pronouncing his name wrong. It should be pronounced “Sacker,” like someone who tackles quarterbacks or someone who stuffs potatoes into sacks. Mr. Sachar's first book, Sideways Stories from Wayside School, was accepted for publication during his first year of law school. After receiving his law degree, he spent six years asking himself whether he wanted to be an author or a lawyer before deciding to write for children full-time. His books include Sideways Stories from Wayside School, Wayside School Is Falling Down, Wayside School Gets a Little Stranger, and Holes, winner of a Newbery Medal and National Book Award.

      it was bad the naroter was bad its a bad book
    • 4/5
      i read this sometime earlier this year (or last year? time is meaningless) but somehow never recorded it. weird to be reading a new wayside school book decades after i first read them but I really liked this.
    • 5/5
      This book was just as great as the rest of them. So nostalgic and fun. I was tempted to dock a star because of all the nail clippings (ew) but I had to remind myself that I am probably not the target audience anymore.

      PS: The Cloud of Doom plot was weirdly prescient with regard to the current state of the world. There are some real gems about stress, friendship, and resilience in here.
    • 5/5
      I wish this was written earlier, but it was nice to read and hear what the characters are doing. I loved the Louis had the same characters from the original books and it continued where it left off. I read this series once a year with students in my class and they love it. Unfortunately I read this one without them this year.
    • 5/5
      This book was pretty much perfect. I am so much older than I was the last time I read a Wayside School book, but I laughed quite loudly about once a chapter. How, after so many decades, does Louis Sachar remember exactly who all of these characters are? How, after so many decades, do *I* remember exactly who all of these characters are? It's wonderful, and just what I needed, with all of us here under our own Cloud of Doom in 2020.
