Wayside School Beneath the Cloud of Doom

Leticia Leal

The Wayside series was a childhood favorite and I have had a great time revisiting them and seeing my son experience the books for the first time. We were both thrilled when we found out there was a new one. Even though it has been 25 years since the last Wayside book, this one doesn’t skip a beat. We get to hangout with our all old friends—Mrs. Jewls, Maurecia, the Erics, Rondi, and Bebe and all the rest. There is a wonderful lesson about being a good friend and everyone in the 30th classroom is wonderfully supportive of one another. Sachar unique sense of humor hasn’t changed. Reading this book was like curling up for a nap with a warm blanket. My son and I hope there is another one! We want to give a big thank you to Louis the Yard Teacher. :)

Written 42 years after the first book was published, I had to reread the first three books to lead up to the brand new installment of this series. I enjoyed some of the past jokes and storylines, but overall felt it was a tad bit weaker than the first three. However, I think fans of the books will enjoy spending more time with the kids at Wayside School along with Louis, Ms. Jewls, Miss Mush, Miss Zarves, etc.
