I read the book Wayside School is Falling Down by Louis Sachar. This is the second book of a series called “The Wayside School”. There are thirty main characters in this book. The book is mainly about all the different kids in the Wayside School and their different stories.The setting of the book is the Wayside School. It is thirty stories high with one classroom on each floor, but it was meant to be one floor with thirty class rooms in a row.

I have a lot of favorite parts of the book. One interesting part is the chapter about Mrs. Mush, the lunch lady. In the beginning of her chapter it says, “warning: do not read this story right after eating. In fact, don’t read it right before eating, either. In fact, just to be safe, don’t read this if you’re ever planning to eat again.” You will have to read the chapter to figure out why. I also love the chapter about Bebes Little Brother. I liked this chapter because it is really funny because every time Bebe brings back her homework it says something mean and disrespectful about Mrs. Jewls.  This is funny because of the things she wrote.  Bebe wrote that Mrs. Jewls’ head is full of oatmeal and it leaks out of her ears too and she said George Washington never told a lie unlike Mrs. Jewls. The chapter is a little confusing but you get it at the end of the chapter. I will stop there because I don’t want to spoil anything. Three adjectives to describe Mrs. Jewls are weird, curious and dumb. What she did to the computer was weird and in other little parts of the book she is weird also, and curious because she wants to know everyone’s problems. But also dumb because she is always doing the opposite of what people tell her to.

I really liked this book. I would read it 10,000 times because it is so funny. I laughed through all of the book. Also, if you are someone that does not like to read, like me, this is a good book for you. Because when you read one sentence you can’t stop reading. Each chapter is about 2-4 pages and it is a very small book. I would recommend this book to everyone and people that like funny books. A book that is sort of like this is Amelia Bedelia. This book is the exact opposite of our school because of all the crazy things they do. Out of 1-5 I would give it a 5!

The book that I read was Cartboy and the Time Capsule by L.A. Campbell.  The main characters are Hal (Cartboy) and his best friend Arnie.  The book is mainly about Hal writing about the time when he is living for a time capsule .  The setting is mostly in Stowfield Middle School, Hal’s school.

One interesting part is Hal wants 3 big things. First, he wants his own room because he has two baby sisters and his bed is between their cribs.  Second, Hal wants a Ziptuk e300s because he wants to look cool in school. His mom and dad don’t like to spend money and the Ziptuk is a scooter with a motor so it costs a lot. Third, he wants more time to play on a video game.  He only gets 9 minutes to play a game called RavenCave because he gets 15 minutes in all; 6 to set the video game up and 9 minutes to play the actual thing. Hal is so funny, because after he makes a joke he makes me laugh.  Hal is clever because when his family was going to his grandparent’s house he stayed home and lied by saying he was studying but he wanted his own room so badly that he tried to sell his house!  One time he said something about his classmate named Cindy Shano (and she eats a lot of candy), and Hal said, “I wonder if Cindy has as many teeth as George Washington” because everyone thought that George Washington had one tooth.

I enjoyed the book because you get to read funny and surprising things. Hal farted in the cafeteria and everyone with a phone texted their friends about the farting incident. Hal’s uncle Lou was a monkey, after the middle school dance, Hal said that he looked like uncle Lou because he had a bent back. I would recommend this book if you want to read a book with illustrations that’s funny. Hal’s sense of humor kept me from putting the book down. I don’t think that there are any movies or TV shows really related to this book. I would give this book 4 stars I really liked it.
