Missed reading this one as a kid, but my 10 year old just read it and insisted that I read it too. Read it in one afternoon and it was a really good book!

A very charming book, little tk no depth of character but that is to be expected due to the ages of the characters.
Overall a happy and lovely read.

Overraskende bok, var overbevist om at det var en politisk bok, men så var det en kjempesøt barnebok om en gutt som hater alle og som alle hater og hans eventyr inn i vennskap. Veldig pedagogsik voksen inni der også.
Brutally honest, heartbreaking, and intense in its portrayal of childhood loneliness, There's A Boy In The Girl's Bathroom is less funny than you think it'd be (it's still rather funny at times though.). Featuring four-dimensional characters and a sadly, rather realistic plot, Louis Sachler(pronounced Sack-ler)'s writing is simple yet so effective.

I bought this book when it was on sale for Kindle a while ago - more because of the title than anything else. As a 30 something British guy, I am not exactly the target audience for it - but I am so pleased I read it!
It made me think about my own school days - I was rather simular to Bradley, and wish I had had a Carla to help me find my way.
This is a beautiful book - I was crying at the end - and I think that the highest praise I can give it is to say, not only do I wish I had read it when I was a kid, but that I wish I had kids to read it to now!

This is the fourth book by Louis Sachar that I've read and while the biggest fuss is made over his novel Holes, I must say I enjoy his other books better. Dogs don't Tell Jokes and this book really get to the heart of some kids and don't judge, just reveal what can be going on under the surface. what's going on doesn't always make sense, who among us is really rational? But there is great truth in his books and hope for any kids living in those fringe situations.
One thing that really strikes me when reading Sachar is the difference between school culture in America and school culture in Canada and Australia. Are they really still that old-fashioned in the mixing of boys and girls in America? It sounds so 60's. The other sex was almost another planet back then.
This is going to the school library now I've read it. Gotta spread the joy.
