Wayside School Beneath the Cloud of Doom

The students of Wayside School and Mrs. Jewls’ class are back, and they are trying to collect a million toenail clippings. Dr. Pickle was hypnotizing DJ and somehow hypnotized Kathy too. After walking out of Dr. Pickle’s office, Kathy is no longer mean because now she is nice to everyone. The students need to prepare for the Ultimate Test. The students are tested on Spelling and Jump Rope Arithmetic and the Stairway Quiz . Will the students be able to collect one million toenail clippings? How will the students do on the Ultimate Test? Read on to find out what happens.

This book is still zany and funny. The characters are still just the same, except for Kathy who is now nice, which is weird. There is a lot of hijinks involved just like the previous books in the series. This book has come out more than forty years since Louis Sachar wrote the first Wayside book. I highly recommend this book to kids who like wacky and funny stories. Anybody who is a fan of the previous Wayside School books will enjoy this new story.
