• My 3rd grader (nine year old son) thinks these are the funniest, best reads yet. They totally helped him transition into becoming an avid silent reader - on his own - as the vocabulary is perfectly challenging, the flow of the words is comfortable and natural, and the tone of the book is ideal for his age. The greatest part - I loved these when I was his age, and I get to share in the stories and relive a part of my childhood all over again. He gets a kick out of reading to me and to his dad, and we laugh together. Ironically, my son has homeschooled since first grade, so some of the details allow me to share my school stories with him - but the beauty of Sachar's stories is that they are a world of their own and one gets drawn into them regardless of one's own background. Absolute fun.
• These stories were childhood classics growing up. I am now sharing these stories with my daughter. My daughter now wants me to read these stories on a nightly basis. The stories are a little cheesy, but they still make me laugh. Overall, these stories are great as each chapter only takes a couple of minutes to read & although the language has a few rude words such as "stupid" it is still tamer than most of what kids are reading today. I also like how even though the stories are fictional & often have all sorts of nonsense, it also allows readers to use their imagination, which is key for kids that are part of the target population.
• I taught elementary school for over 30 years. Every year I would read these books to my students. We laughed everyday when we would read about the different students. My students would make references throughout the day to the stories. For instance they would say no Sammie’s allowed in the class. I One of my students was a non reader. He told me his goal was to learn to read so he could read the books for himself. He finally got from me a gift of the books to make that a reality. I never tired of reading the stories to the children.i even got a set for my grandson and my daughter in law sent me a photo of him reading.
• My 9 year old could not put these books down. The reading level was a bit lower than he usually reads but he thought the stories were really funny. There are 3 short books - around 100 pages each but they are a good break from longer books or for kids just getting into longer chapter books. We have thoroughly enjoyed all the books from this author - Holes is one of our all-time-favorite books. I would recommend this set to kids from ages 7-10. Happy reading!!
• I was not familiar with this series, but when I asked, my DIL said she thought my 8 yr old grandson would like them. They have been reading them at bedtime, and she was right. He loves them. Grandpa even read to him one night and said they laughed and really enjoyed them.
• This series of books got my 7 year old grand daughter, Grace in trouble with her teacher at school! Remembering how great each book was I purchased her the series. Her teacher was reading it aloud to the class and Grace absolutely could NOT put it down. Of course she soon was ahead of the read aloud in the classroom and she told one of her friends what happened next and the teacher found out. Then called the teacher called Grace to account for a) reading ahead and b) telling her friend what happened next. GREAT BOOK SERIES! DEFINITELY RECOMMEND FOR THE 7 AND 8 year old range. (But don't tell the next thing that happens if your teacher is reading aloud!)
• I bought these as a gift for my boyfriends son. He is in second grade and has to read every night but hasn't been very excited about it. I remembered these books from when I was younger and I thought that he might enjoy them. We haven't gotten to them just yet because I think that they are still a little bit advanced for him but we will start them right after we finish Captain Underpants. I am really looking forward to reading these books again!
• I read these stories when I was little and loved them. I happened to run across the trilogy on and got it to read my daughter. So far these are her favorite stores, we have to read 1-2 of these a night. We just finished the books, but I wouldn’t be surprised if she wants me to start over from the beginning.
