Throwback Thursday, Fandom Edition: Wayside School Kid

[nevanna]

I shared an old piece of fanart for Louis Sachar's Wayside School series, as well as some reasons why I loved the books.

I haven't read those books in ages. I should give them another shot, because you and Elle have spoken highly of them and I remember barely anything about them!

When I said that the books mostly hold up, I meant that there are a few wince-inducing moments (the pigtail-pulling scenes, and a chapter in the second book that relies on dubious language and Wacky Foreigner stereotypes), but I still think that the good outweighs the bad. The series is very similar to Gravity Falls in is "yeah, sometimes weird things Just Happen here" approach.
