It’s probably just because I’m pregnant, but the end of this book made me cry happy tears.

I love the Wayside books. They're some of the funniest, silliest books available for kids.

This one focuses more on the substitute teachers in Mrs. Jewls' class than on the kids, and I just didn't love it as much as I did the first two.

Hopefully I can take a hiatus from reading these books aloud to my 5 & 8 year olds now that we finished the 3rd installment. They get such a kick out of continuing to follow the students and teachers at Wayside.

Man this was a dark and mean book. I really enjoyed the first in the series but it went downhill as the trilogy was complete.

We were all sad for this one to end. Will miss reading these books at bedtime!
