Wayside School has gotten even stranger!  You will enjoy many funny stories about the teachers and the students of Wayside school.  Classrooms are throwing computers and pencil sharpeners out the window, and there are cows running around in the building!!  There is even a teacher who has an ear in the top of her head, and she can hear what you are thinking.  If you like books by the author of Holes (Louis Sachar) you will enjoy Wayside School Gets a Little Stranger.

I read the book Wayside School gets a Little Stranger by Louis Sachar. After 243 days of closing because of cows Wayside school has re-opened! The children in Mrs. Jewl's class are especially happy because Mrs. Jewls is the nicest teacher. But now she is having a baby and must leave for a little while. It ends up that all three substitute teachers that the school hires create problems. Mr. Goff, the teacher that takes kids voices using his nostril, Mrs. Drazil, a teacher with a mysterious old blue notebook, and Miss Nogard, a teacher with a third ear that is on top of her head! These teachers each have something that makes their time at Wayside school different than any teacher's time before.

Read the book to find out all the exciting problems. I recommend this book to people who like fun, suspenseful books. I don't recommend this book to people who only like to read about things that could happen in real life.

Wayside School Gets a Little Stranger is a collection of funny stories about a class on the 30th floor of Wayside School. At last the school is open after 243 days of being closed. A student named Damon discovers something different about their teacher, Mrs. Jewls, but he can't figure out what it is. Finally, Mrs. Jewls tells the class that she is pregnant and will be out of school for a few months. The story gets really interesting when the substitutes arrive. And they are not your average substitutes. Something about them gives a lot of the children chills.   That's all for now, but if you are interested and want to learn more, read the book!

Wayside School Gets a Little Stranger is about the re-opening of Wayside School. Join the kids on the 30th story during their crazy and wacky school year with their new teachers, new rules, and new adventures. You can be part of all this too if you read Wayside School Gets A Little Stranger. It will bring you hours of laughter, guaranteed!
