This book is so much fun! When I was a kid, I used to read the Wayside School books. It was about a school that was built on its side, so instead of being 1 story with all the classrooms on the same floor it was 30 stories with one classroom per floor. And the books would tell stories of all the wacky kids and teachers that went to school there. It was one of my favorite books to read as a kid, and Scary School is just like it! Too funny for words. I loved learning about each of the kids, monsters and teachers at scary school.

Each chapter would focus on a different person and the chapters flowed seemlessly to the next scary school inhabitant. This was done even better than it was in wayside school books. Sometimes thos chapters would be enjoyable but a bit disjointed (not that I ever noticed that as a kid) but here Derek the Ghost perfectly links each monster with the next.

I think Scary School is the perfect read for any kid, or adult! It is so entertaining and there are tons of pop culture references for the older audience and I thought they were hilarious. One in particular that stood out with was with the T-Rex Mrs. T. She showed up in a bunch of chapters, and she even had her own chapter. I enjoyed reading all about the smart dino but then in the end when she busted out a "I pity the fool" mr. T line- I actually laughed out loud. And there are laughs like this on every page. Scary School is fun for everyone. This book is such a hit!
