Louis Sachar is an author who writes great books with lots of humor. His books make you want to keep reading just because the characters and events in his stories are so outrageous you will laugh out loud! He is the author of the Sideways Stories from Wayside School series as well as the Marvin Redpost series. His books are always really funny and are about regular kids that are easy to relate to. His book Holes was so great, it was made into movie in 2003. My favorite is the Wayside School series, which is about a school that has 30 floors (one for each class) but was missing a 19th floor. The books tell the wild stories of the children from the 30th floor and their strange teacher Mrs. Jewls. Louis Sachar has also written Sixth Grade Secrets, Someday Angeline, There’s a Boy in the Girl’s Bathroom, Dogs Don’t Tell Jokes and several others. His latest book is called Small Steps and is written about a character named “Armpit” from his book Holes. So, if you want something fun to read, pick up a book by Louis Sachar and be prepared to laugh.
