Just a bit of random childhood nostalgia. I especially liked Chapter 19.

Is this the series with the school with the floor that doesn't exist or something??

If so I loved that series!

 

[JoshuaJSlone]

I believe I read the first two at that link. All sorts of weird stuff going on in those books. Kids swapping names, the floor that didn't exist (except the time it did), making ice cream flavored like the students...

The first book was the very first book I ever bought myself, which was purchased via the Troll Book Club in the second grade. Happy times...

And awesome book too! I didn't know there were others...

Sideways Stories from Wayside School
Wayside School is Falling Down
Wayside School Gets a Little Stranger

I still own all three.

 

[Willco]

First two rock, the third one is "meh".

 

[BuddyC]

My second grade teacher used to read these to us all the time. Ah, memories.

there was a third book!?!?!

 

[Guzim]

I read the first and second. Never read the third.

There was one book that had a math theme to it...it was confusing as hell haha

 

[UtadaBarkley]

I read these back in like 2nd grade, those were the sh1t.

Haha, I had a couple of those, and all of the main books. Great series, some of the few books I really enjoyed reading as a kid..

 

[VistraNorrez]

They all rocked, I still (try) to read them all once a year. They have held up really well.

 

[ohamsie]

I have all three. The third one is pretty 'meh'. The cover especially, it was this ugly yellow/green bile color, but I will give it points for glowing in the dark.


My favorite part is how all the dead rats were always trying to sneak in to Ms. Jewels's classroom.

I had that book, and the two others. I wish I could still find them, those were awesome. "We have instructed everyone going up to stay on the right, and everyone going down to stay on the left - and you still keep running into each other!"

 

[Sullichin]

Oh man, those books were awesome! Was that the series that "door" was labeled a bad word by the principal, and they needed to use a different word?

And there's no 13th floor, but there's a weird teacher that is on that floor or something.

 

[Lathentar]

I got the Arithmetic Book. I'm so lame.

Same here. Second grade book club.

It was the first book (that was over 20 pages) that I remember actually reading for fun.
