    适读人群 :13岁及以上                                 This book is hilarious. I could just see kids I know going to a school thirty stories tall, with a classroom on each side, struggling through torturous mosquito bites, a teacher who thinks you're a monkey, and all sorts of kooky and downright hilarious characters. I could read this over and over. It is so realistic, yet oh so spacy.  
 I first read this book when I was about seven or eight. I have read it over and over with each of my five younger siblings and it gets funnier each time. Sachar has a way of appealing to all audiences. 
 Parents, the Wayside school series is the easiest way to get boob-tube obsessed kids to read a good book for a change.  
 And it is a good book!                 
内容简介
   There was a terrible mistake-Wayside School was built with one classroom on top of another, thirty stories high! (The builder said he was sorry.) Maybe that's why all kinds of funny things happened at Wayside-especially on the thirteenth floor.

Sachar attended the University of California, at Berkeley. During his senior year there, he helped out at Hillside Elementary School. It was his experience there that led to his first book, Sideways Stories from Wayside School, written in 1976. After college, he worked for a while in a sweater warehouse in Norwalk, Connecticut, and wrote at night. Then he went to law school, and his first book, Sideways Stories from Wayside School, was accepted for publication during his first week of school. After graduating from Berkeley, Sachar attended Hastings College of the Law in San Francisco, graduating in 1980. He worked part-time as a lawyer for eight years as I continued to write children's books, becoming a full-time writer in 1989 Sideways Stories from Wayside School was named a 1979 Children's Choice Book by a joint committee of the International Reading Association and the Children's Book Council.

精彩书评
   The Wayside School was supposed to be one story high, with 30 classrooms side by side; instead, it was built sideways, with 30 one-classroom stories. As befits such a strange school, these tales are a bit strange too. In one, Jason is stuck to his seat by a large wad of chewing gum. His teacher tries throwing ice water on him (to chill the gum to brittleness) and turning him upside down. She even contemplates cutting his pants off. Finally, though, he falls from his upside-down position when kissed (ugh!) by one of the girls in the class. Other tales include a bit of a moral, such as the story of Kathy, whose assumption that no one will ever like her is proved right, or the story of Bebe, who draws quickly but without artistic merit. The quirky humor in this book is appealing to children, and it makes a good read-aloud book for the younger set. (Ages 5 to 12)

					穿越时空的冒险:失落的星图  作者:艾莉亚·文森特  类型:科幻/奇幻/青少年冒险  页数:580页  装帧:精装  目标读者:14岁及以上  ---   故事梗概:  在这部宏大且引人入胜的史诗级小说中,艾莉亚·文森特带领我们进入一个由失落的古代科技与神秘的宇宙力量交织而成的世界。故事围绕着十六岁的伊莱亚斯·凡恩展开,他生活在一个被认为是“和平”的时代,但这种平静不过是建立在对过去真相的集体遗忘之上。  伊莱亚斯生活在“穹顶之城”——一个漂浮在被污染地表之上的巨大空中都市。在穹顶内部,社会被严格划分,知识被严格控制,历史被重塑以符合统治阶层的叙事。伊莱亚斯本是一个沉浸在档案修复工作中的普通学徒,梦想着能有机会接触到传说中失落的“大图书馆”。  然而,一次例行的古物清理工作中,伊莱亚斯偶然发现了一块镶嵌着奇异金属的石板。这块石板并非穹顶文明的产物,它散发着微弱的、不属于当前时代的能量波动。通过解读石板上模糊的符号,伊莱亚斯意识到他发现的是“星图”——一张描绘着数千年前星际航行时代遗失的星际航线图。  星图不仅是导航工具,它更像是一把钥匙,能唤醒沉睡中的古代防御系统和失落的知识宝库。当伊莱亚斯试图深入研究时,穹顶的秘密警察——“肃清者”——立刻察觉到了能量的异常波动,并开始对他展开无情的追捕。  为了保护这份足以颠覆现有秩序的秘密,伊莱亚斯被迫逃离他熟悉的一切。他的旅程始于一个危险的决定:突破穹顶的屏障,降落到被世代禁止踏足的“下方世界”。   下方世界的低语:  下方世界并非传说中一片死寂的荒原,而是一个由被遗忘的科技碎片和野蛮生长的自然力量构成的迷宫。伊莱亚斯在这里遇到了一群被称为“拾荒者”的边缘群体,他们依靠从废墟中搜寻古代遗物为生。  他结识了核心人物——蕾娜,一位沉默寡言但技艺高超的机械师,她对古代动力学有着近乎本能的理解。蕾娜起初对伊莱亚斯的“穹顶身份”充满怀疑,但星图散发出的独特频率似乎与她祖传的一枚古老护身符产生了共鸣。  在蕾娜的帮助下,伊莱亚斯学会了如何在废墟中生存,如何辨别哪些遗迹是致命的陷阱,哪些是通往真相的线索。他们发现,星图指向的不仅仅是一个地点,而是一系列分散在全球各地的“信标”,这些信标需要按照特定的宇宙相位顺序激活,才能揭示最终的目的地——传说中的“源点”。   古老的冲突与道德的抉择:  随着伊莱亚斯和蕾娜的旅程深入,他们开始接触到关于“大崩塌”的真相。原来,穹顶文明并非古代文明的继承者,而是当年为了逃避一场星际冲突而建造的避难所,而他们所崇拜的“和平”与“秩序”,却是建立在对幸存者的流放和对历史的篡改之上的。  星图的激活过程也引来了强大的反派势力——“守望者”。守望者是一群极端保守的精英,他们相信只有维持现状,隐藏过去,才能避免人类再次陷入星际战争的泥潭。他们的领袖,冷酷无情的判官卡西乌斯,坚信伊莱亚斯所持的星图是引发混沌的根源,并誓要将其彻底销毁。  伊莱亚斯面临的不再是简单的逃亡,而是深刻的道德困境:揭露真相会带来社会的剧烈动荡和潜在的战争风险,但继续隐瞒,意味着永远活在谎言之中。   高潮与宇宙的低语:  故事的最高潮发生在被星图标记为“源点”的古老天文台遗址。在那里,伊莱亚斯和蕾娜与卡西乌斯展开了最终的对决。  源点不仅是星际航线的终点,它也是一个巨大的能量枢纽,可以与宇宙深处的“织网者”——古代星际文明遗留下来的智慧网络进行连接。  在决战的瞬间,伊莱亚斯成功激活了星图的全部功能。他没有选择发动古代的武器系统,而是选择了与织网者建立连接。通过这个连接,他向整个星球——包括穹顶内部的居民——广播了被压制了数千年的真实历史,揭示了古代人类是如何在宇宙中遨游、探索、并最终选择自我隔离的缘由。  信息的冲击导致穹顶的能源系统短暂瘫痪,统治体系出现裂痕。卡西乌斯在真相面前动摇,而伊莱亚斯则获得了对星际航道更深层次的理解。   尾声:新的航向  虽然真相大白,但世界并未立即迎来乌托邦。穹顶的居民开始质疑他们的一切,下方世界也因新信息的涌入而变得躁动不安。  伊莱亚斯和蕾娜意识到,他们的使命并未结束。星图不仅仅是一张航线图,它更是一种指引,引导着人类走出“自我囚禁”的状态。他们没有选择留下来领导变革,而是带着星图,启动了一艘被隐藏在源点深处的古代星舰。  小说以两人驾驶着星舰,穿越已经重新激活的星际航道,飞向未知的星域作结。他们的目标是寻找其他可能幸存的古代殖民地,以求证人类文明的完整图景,并为地球带来新的可能性。留给读者的,是对人类在浩瀚宇宙中定位的深刻思考,以及对知识与自由的永恒追求。  ---   核心主题:   知识的代价与力量: 探讨了信息控制对文明发展的阻碍,以及真相被揭示时所带来的巨大冲击。  身份认同与传承: 伊莱亚斯必须在作为“穹顶的产物”与“古代文明的继承者”之间找到自己的定位。  科技与伦理: 古代超级科技被用来维持压迫,揭示了科技发展必须与道德准则相伴。  失落的黄金时代: 对过去伟大文明的怀念与重建愿景的探索。  这部小说融合了紧张的追逐戏、精密的古代科技解谜,以及对宏大宇宙图景的深刻描绘,为青少年读者构建了一个既熟悉又充满奇迹的未来世界。
