    <![CDATA[There was a terrible mistake. Wayside School was supposed to have been built with thirty classrooms all next to each other in a row. Instead, it was built with the thirty classrooms all on top of each other - thirty stories high! That may be why all kinds of strange stuff happens at Wayside School. Especially, on the thirteenth floor. It is a school full of unusual characters too. Mrs Gorf the meanest teacher in the world. Terrible Todd who always gets sent home early. John who can only read upside down. It is a crazy mixed up school brilliantly brought to life by the irresistible Louis Sachar.]]>

    <![CDATA[Two years after being released from Camp Green Lake, Armpit is home in Austin, Texas, trying to turn his life around. But it&#8217;s hard when you have a record, and everyone expects the worst from you. The only person who believes in him is Ginny, his 10-year old disabled neighbor. Together, they are learning to take small steps. And he seems to be on the right path, until X-Ray, a buddy from Camp Green Lake, comes up with a get-rich-quick scheme.  This leads to a chance encounter with teen pop sensation, Kaira DeLeon, and suddenly his life spins out of control, with only one thing for certain. He&#8217;ll never be the same again.<br/><br/>In his first major novel since <strong>Holes</strong>, critically acclaimed novelist Louis Sachar uses his signature wit combined with a unique blend of adventure and deeply felt characters to explore issues of race, the nature of celebrity, the invisible connections that determine a person&#8217;s life, and what it takes to stay on course. Doing the right thing is never a wrong choice&#8211;but a small step in the right direction.]]>

But things at Wayside are far from normal-and Sue's teacher, Mrs. Jewls, is completely wacky.  She expects the students to add and subtract words!  Sue has never heard of anything so ridiculous.  She knows adding apples plus oranges is impossible...or is it?  Anything can happen at Wayside School.<br/>]]>

    <![CDATA[Nobody understands why Angeline is so smart. She could read the first time she picked up a book, she can play the piano without ever having had a lesson, and she even knows what the weather is going to be. But being smart is causing Angeline nothing but trouble. The mean kids in school call her a freak, her teacher finds her troublesome, and even her own father doesn't know what to do with an eight-year-old girl who seems to be a genius. Angeline doesn't want to be either a genius or a freak. She just wants the chance to be herself and be happy. But it's only when she makes friends with a boy the kids call &quot;Goon&quot; and the teacher they call &quot;Mr. Bone&quot; that Angeline gets that chance.]]>

    <![CDATA[<p>Johnny's in the basement where his parents won't bother him, sitting on top of The World's Greatest Bottle Cap Collection. He's just turned eleven and his parents have decided that it's time for him to grow up. Suddenly he has to wash the dishes and take out the garbage. And get rid of his bottle caps! His birthday presents are grown-up junk like socks and underwear and -- worst of all -- social-dancing lessons. Growing up certainly doesn't seem worth it -- until he meets Valerie Plum, who hates dancing school even more than Johnny does, but doesn't hate Johnny at all.</p>]]>

    <![CDATA[ &quot;Wenn man einen schlechten Jungen jeden Tag in der heißen Sonne ein Loch graben lässt, wird aus ihm schließlich ein guter Junge.&quot; So lautet die herrschende Philosophie im Camp Green Lake, einer Jugendstrafanstalt, in der es weder einen grünen See noch fröhliche Sommerfreizeitler gibt. An der Stelle des einst größten Sees von Texas befindet sich heute eine trockene, flache und von der Sonne ausgedorrte Einöde, übersät mit unzähligen, völlig gleichen Löchern, die von Jungen gegraben wurden, um ihren Charakter zu verbessern. Stanley Yelnats, mit seinem palindromischen Namen und unglückseligen Stammbaum, landete in Camp Green Lake, weil es als die bessere Alternative zum Gefängnis erschien. Unabhängig davon, dass seine Verurteilung auf der Grundlage einer falschen Indentifizierung beruht, hat sich die Yelnats-Familie längst an eine lange Familiengeschichte der Glücklosigkeit gewöhnt, dank ihres &quot;elenden Tunichtgut und Schweinediebs von Ururgroßvater!&quot;<p>  Trotz seiner Unschuld, wird Stanley rasch in die Routine von Camp Green Lake eingebunden: vor Sonnenaufgang aufstehen, um ein Loch von fünf Fuß Durchmesser und fünf Fuß Tiefe zu graben; lernen, wie man mit der Horde von Jungs in Gruppe D zurechtkommt, die nach einem <em>Herr-der-Fliegen</em>-Muster gestrickt zu sein scheinen; und sich vor der Wärterin fürchten, die sich ihre Fingernägel mit Klapperschlangengift lackiert. Als Stanley aber dahinterkommt, dass die Jungs möglicherweise nicht nur zur Verbesserung ihres Charakters Löcher graben, sondern weil die Wärterin etwas ganz Bestimmtes sucht, wird die Handlung genauso heftig wie die Ironie.<p>  Dies ist eine seltsame Geschichte, sie ist aber auch auf seltsame Weise bezwingend und schön. Mit pokergesichtiger Untertreibung schafft Louis Sachar eine bizarre, jedoch glaubwürdige Welt, in der sich Major Major Major Major von <em>Catch-22</em> so richtig zu Hause fühlen würde. Aber obwohl die Geschichte vor Humor und Absurdem nur so strotzt, zeigt sie auch ein tiefes Verständnis für die Bedeutung von Freundschaft wie auch ein glühendes Mitgefühl für die Schwächeren der Gesellschaft. Als Stanley unbewusst beginnt, sein Schicksal zu erfüllen -- die zwei Handlungen der Geschichte laufen zusammen, um zu zeigen, dass das Schicksal große Pläne auf Lager hat -- kommen wir nicht umhin, den Guten zuzujubeln, und all den Yelnats, wo immer sie auch sind. <em>--Bragien Davis</em></p></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[Stanley Yelnats est poursuivi par la malchance. Tout comme ses père, grand-père et arrière-grand-père. Et ce, à cause d'une malédiction qui a frappé ce dernier. C'est donc avec le sentiment d'être poursuivi par la fatalité que Stanley accepte le coup du sort qui le condamne, pour un acte qu'il n'a pas commis, à passer 18 mois au Texas dans le camp du Lac vert. Celui-ci, malgré son joli nom, n'a rien d'un lieu de villégiature. D'abord, le lac a laissé la place à un désert aride. Ensuite, les &quot;pensionnaires&quot;, tous jeunes délinquants, sont condamnés à creuser chaque jour un énorme trou dans cette terre desséchée. Cette punition stupide cache un dessein poursuivi par le terrible &quot;directeur&quot; du camp. <p>Un superbe roman d'amitié sur fond de légende. Deux histoires nous sont racontées parallèlement, celle de Stanley et une autre, qui s'est déroulée un siècle plus tôt. Les deux sont étrangement liées, on le découvre au fil d'indices habilement distillés au long du récit, jusqu'à la révélation finale. <p>Dès 12 ans et sans limite d'âge, impossible de lâcher l'ouvrage avant d'avoir le fin mot de l'histoire et de connaître enfin le destin vers lequel le héros semble irrésistiblement attiré. Plébiscité par des milliers de jeunes Américains, le livre a été couronné par le prix Millepages et le prix Lecture jeunesse. <em>--Pascale Wester</em></p></p>]]>
