Favorite Author

This blog is dedicated to my personal all-time favorite author, Louis Sachar. In elementary, I remember reading There's a Boy in the Girls' Bathroom. However, the series of Wayside School stories that he wrote are even better. It's about a school that was accidentely built backwards- instead of one floor of 30 classrooms, there are 30 floors with just one classroom on each . The focus is on Mrs. Jewel's classroom on the 30th floor. Miss Zarves teaches on the nineteenth floor. There is no nineteenth floor. Get it? Good, explain it to me. The schoolyard instructor's name is, go figure, Louis! It is awesome and kind of weird at times, but they are the types of books that you cannot put down. You must read the "next" chapter. In high school, our reading assignment was to read Holes as a freshman. This is one case where I read the book before seeing the movie. Not by choice- the movie didn't exist yet! [;)]

  1. Wow, never heard of it, but this post sure grabbed my attention about Louis Sachar and the series of Wayside School stories. They seem really weird and something I would like to read even now. And thanks for the info, I didnt even know, "Holes," was a book before the movie. Haha. Interesting though.
