Tough guys... have your tissues ready...

Centered around the life of self-proclaimed misfit, Bradley Chalkers, and the new kid, Jeff Fishkin, this well crafted story highlights the metamorphosis of Bradley and Jeff through their experiences in school, with classmates, each other, and the new school counselor, Carla. ...

Sideways fun for low level teenagers
I am a teacher of 7th to 11th graders who preform below the "standard" grade level expectations. They find these books comical, and I find them educational. They laugh at appropriate jokes and understand the allusions. Sachar not only uses allusions but alliterations, simile, metaphor, and a plethora of other literary devices that are easy enough for students to hear and read. I would normally ...

Marvin's Back....
How does Marvin Redpost get himself into these situations? The talk around school is that he's got a new mountain bike and is going to take on Suicide Hill. Truth is, Marvin can hardly even climb onto the bike, no less ride it. If he actually survives the ride, he'll be the most popular boy at school. If he wimps out, he'll never be able to show his face again. And if he challenges the hill ...

Fun, but challenging
As someone who has always been a math person, I loved this book when I was in 4th grade. I was able to do the problems in it and thought it was a fun different approach to learning about math and using logic. I think that this book can be still a fun brain teaser even for adults, as I am one now :). I would say that for many younger Sachar readers this book has a high chance of being over ...

Couldn't Put it Down!
This book was amazingly great. It was completely different from Holes. In my opinion I thought it was way better. When I started this book I thought it would be good just like Holes. I was way wrong. It was so much better. I started reading it and I just couldn't put it down. I'm 13 and I loved this book. I think it's a great book for anyone.

early elementary humor at its best
I bought this bk based on Amazon summaries & reviews when I searched for options for my 9 yr old 3rd grade daughter to read works in the fantasy genre for school; as an adult, it hit me like the silly jokes that never fail to entertain early elemantary age kids - I am not roped in or doubled over in laughter; quite the contrary for the target audience!; the sillier & more nonsensical, the better; ...

What a touching and sincere story.
This is one of my favorite books of all time, and I am not a kid! The author wrote with such sincerity and such deep understanding. At first, Bradley is a horrible, bratty child. After seeing what his family life is like, and how he is treated at school, you learn that he is just a person with problems like anyone else. This book is so great because although Bradley has problems in life, he is ...

Adoptabook.Info Review
Louis Sachar, possessing tremendous range as a children1s lit master, bring us the Marvin Redpost series---smartly designed for the mid-second grade reader. The second in a now lengthy series, Sachar has poor Marvin---a likable rolly-polly sort of lead---embroiled in controversy. When a close call in a Wallball game leads to verbal sparring, a yard bully accuses Marvin of committing that most ...

Very funny and enjoyable.
This is a great and funny book. I remember in 5th grade reading this book over and over, and now, 12 years later I picked it up again and it was still as fun as it was back then. Gary Boone is a young jokester, destined for a life in stand up comedy when he is an adult, but for now, he has parents and school to deal with. However, when the school talent show is announced, Gary sees his ...

It has all types of chapters about everything that was discussed in the novel HOLES. Such as how to dig the perfect hole, and identify rattlesnakes, tarantulas, yellow-spotted lizards, Mr. Sir, and other dangerous creatures. It even has a chapter ...

Lots of fun!
I love incorporating words with math! It makes it fun and interesting. I am not big on math (nor am I very good at it), but when you incorporate language, it makes it fun. I really found this enjoyable! You do neet time, paper, and a darn good eraser, but this was a blast! It has the same kind of stories as the other Wayside books, but it incorporates math problems to go with it. (BOYS + ...
