It tells the story of a 13-year old orphan named Anne, who after spending her whole life at Saint Lupin's Institute for Perpetually Wicked and Hideously Unattractive Children waiting for an adventure, finds herself tasked with one bigger than she could have ever imagined. Wade Albert White has written simply one of the funniest, most addictive books I’ve read in a long while. Hell, this will probably be Wayside School for me now. I have a distinct feeling that The Adventurer's Guide to Successful Escapes and its sequels will be the Wayside School series for many kids. They were laugh-out-loud funny, no matter how many times I read them, and beneath the humor and the fantastic elements, they were written with a real affection for the characters and the world that always brought me back to spend more time with them. When I couldn’t find any new books that piqued my interest (and even when I did), I’d always be sure to grab any Wayside book sitting on the shelf. ![]() ![]() ![]() When I was in 1st grade and my parents took me to the library every week, Louis Sacher’s Wayside School series was my comfort read. ![]()
