Review: Hilarious and Engaging! - This 3-book set is a total winner. My kids loved every 'strange' story and found the 30 story format really easy to follow. We’ve been reading them together at bedtime, and it’s the highlight of our night. Highly recommend for any elementary aged kid Review: The best - The funniest, and the best books. So enjoyable for adults too. These were even better as an adult & a writer, the second time around (first read them as a kid in the 90s). Have bought this set as presents for everyone I know, boy or girl. Sacchar hits on truths (e.g., Kathy chapter) that are really ambitious for a light hearted and hilarious book for kids! My 6 year old’s favorites too! Love it. -English teacher, writer, and editor. Totally appreciated books—wish I wrote them myself! :-)

Hilarious stories of nonsense to span generations!
Hard to even know where to begin! Absolutely LOVED the tales of Wayside School growing up from the missing floor to three Eric's to Mrs. Jewl's crazy experiments, and I feel like its incredibly humorous satire played a very fundamental role in developing me into the sarcastic man-child my family and friends know me as today! (My wife is a big fan of the books as well but maybe not so much on what she's now left dealing with in a husband) These books were some of the very few I repeatedly checked out of the school library because they were always worth a re-read. The best part about them is the layers in the simple yet chaotic stories that reveal themselves in different forms as you grow older! I found my way back to this set recently when I decided it was time for my 8-year old niece (who is starting to discover her own passion for reading) to get her first exposure to the amazingness these stories offer up! And in a proud Uncle moment, she literally was nose deep in the first book of the set as quickly as she woke up the next morning, already telling her parents how much shes loves it!! The funny thing is, buying this set invoked so many nostalgic feelings in me that I almost didn't want to give it to her! Could not be happier though knowing that I could bring a whole new generation into the crazy world of Sachar and excited to borrow these once my niece is done!

Fun, Charming, and Full of Zany Stories from Wayside School
The Wayside School Boxed Set is a great set to get for the kid who loves comedy. I read The Sideway Stories from Wayside School when I was a kid, and was thrilled to see the Louis Sachar had continued the series. The stories are short, charming, funny, and just enjoyable. Even as an adult, I find the stories about Mrs. Jewels and her class of zany kid characters just a joy to read. The stories can be read aloud to kids or works as a great chapter book for solo readers. Both my 7 and 8 year old enjoy the series, so much that we purchased a set for both my kid's respective classes this year. If you're looking for a good short story set, this is a great set to gift or get for your kids.

Perfect for young readers
Bought this box set after reading favourable reviews and was not disappointed. The stories are quirky and short enough to hold a young reader's attention. My 8-year-old daughter was so keen to find out what was next that she read the books all by herself (except for the first couple of chapters which were read by her Dad.) She asked me what a couple of words meant and was keen to discuss the stories with me. The stories are exciting, well-written, and fun.
