        • content: For most kids, school is a place of order, rules, and predictability. In WAYSIDE SCHOOL GETS A LITTLE STRANGER, Louis Sachar brings us another joyous, totally unpredictable year at Wayside School, where there are 30 floors, with only one classroom on each floor, and where the rules insist that students go upstairs on the right side, and downstairs on the left! When Mrs. Jewls, the fifth-grade teacher, leaves to have her baby, the kids go through a series of substitutes, each one a little stranger than the one before. As his own narrator, Sachar starts off with a slow, almost monotone quality, as if to undercut the absurdity of the plot. Slowly, he loosens up and lets his characters come to life, and we begin to recognize the various kids--Louis, the custodian; the principal; even the different substitutes--as he gives them their own individual voices, changing tone, speech patterns, even the timbre of his voice. His irreverent wit constantly catches us off-guard. Kids will love his outlandish stories while adults will appreciate the satire. W.L.S. (c) AudioFile 2001, Portland, Maine

          April 24, 1995
          Returning to the scene of Sideways Stories from Wayside School and Wayside School Is Falling Down, Sachar serves up 30 stories about the zany goings-on in his unorthodox 30-story-tall school. Sometimes silly, other times clever, the narrative revolves around the wacky substitute teachers who take Mrs. Jewls's place when she is on maternity leave. The kids on the 30th floor must contend with a fellow whose third nostril enables him to "suck" students' voices up his nose, and a rather sadistic woman whose third ear (hidden under her hair) gives her the power to read students' thoughts. The book's pace and punch seem to slacken midway through; the funniest vignettes (including the principal's caustic diatribe over the PA when he thinks the system is off and a parody of 'Twas the Night Before Christmas that questions Santa Claus's existence) are found in the first half. But this will hardly deter Wayside School devotees from turning the pages eagerly, awaiting the next twist of plot or play on words. Sachar's supply of both seems inexhaustible. Illustrations not seen by PW. Ages 8-up.

          Revolving around the substitute teachers that the students of this zany school must endure, the 30 stories here will delight devotees of the Wayside School; according to PW, Sachar's supply of plot twists and plays on words are "inexhaustible." Ages 8-12.
