Do you remember middle school?
Are you trying to forget, thank you very much?
Well, these ten short stories will certainly remind young readers of the trials and tribulations of their everyday existence . . . and make them laugh out loud at the same time.
From Angela Johnson's funny story about a klutzy girl who thinks that square dancing will save her from the evil trampoline in gym, to Jim Proimos's zany comic book story about always missing the bus, to Avi's imaginative story about an atrocious speller who manages to survive a robbery attempt and earn an A in English at the same time . . . each of these fictional stories humorously reflects those magical and not-so-magical school moments that we've all experienced.
Photos and reminiscences of the authors from their own school days add a personal touch to the collection, letting kids know that they aren't the only ones who've had to suffer the indignity of pop quizzes and sloppy joes!

Grade 5-7–This amusing anthology of 10 short stories, by authors such as Avi, Angela Johnson, David Lubar, and Rachel Vail, will resonate with students everywhere. Sarah Weeks's "Experts, Incorporated," explores how a name can lead to horrific nicknames, like that of the protagonist: Curtain, Rod. Readers will cringe at their own inadequacies, sympathize with the embarrassment of the characters, groan at the familiar odor of "fish sticks in the lunchroom," and cheer when the shame of being in "Special Reading" results in self-awareness and new friends. James Proimos's "The Grade School Zone" is a comic-strip story of a boy's Italian grandmother who fractures the English language. Lee Wardlaw's "The Desk" centers on the mystery and magic arising from the seat of an itinerant circus student, and David Rice's "Tied to Zelda" describes a crush on a friend in school. A skillfully written and engaging collection that's sure to be popular.–Rebecca Sheridan, Easttown Library & Information Center, Berwyn, PA

Gr. 4-7. Editor Mercado brings together 10 short stories (including one told in comic-book form) about children's lives in school. In these first-person narratives, sharply defined details and keenly observed nuances of school life often set the stage for moments of wit, surprise, realization, and tenderness. Authors include Avi, Angela Johnson, David Lubar, Terry Trueman, and Rachel Vail. Readers looking for humor will find plenty of it as the stories unfold. In one, a would-be thief settles for kidnapping a boy and his English teacher and finds that he has met his match. In another, a group project in science suddenly makes a U-turn, from moldy disaster to unexpected triumph. At the end of each story is a "School Report," in which the author identifies his or her "Favorite Cafeteria Meal," "Worst Smell at School," "Best Prank Ever Played," and so on. Most of these autobiographical sections include school photos of the writers as children. An entertaining roundup. Carolyn Phelan

Fantastic!
By K
I bought this book as a back to school gift for my 11 year old niece and ended up reading it myself. The stories are so true-to-life that anyone at any age can identify with them. I can't wait to give it to my niece; I know she'll love it!

You have to read this book
By ShaSha7
"What do I remember most about school?" is the first question asked in the introduction of the fiction book Tripping over the Lunch Lady: and Other School Stories edited by Nancy Mercado. This book features ten different school stories written by ten different children's book authors, including Angela Johnson, author of Toning the Sweeps and Heaven, both winners of a Coretta Scott King Award, Avi author of the True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle, winner of a Newberry Honor Award and Terry Trueman's author of Struck in Neutral, winner of a Michael L. Printz Honor Award.
I thought that this book was a great, easy read, and of course hilarious. Even though the target audience is middle schoolers, however people of all ages would enjoy reading this book because somehow they can relate. I found myself remember all the fun and not so fun times of middle school while reading. Also, after reading each story, I found myself going back to that first question asked in the introduction "What do I remember most about school?" and being happy that nothing as crazy as these stories happened to me while I was in middle school. The stories range from ones about the troubles of gym class, the mystery of the smell in the desk and a boy's grandmother who always yells "bussa." My favorite story had to be How I got my English A by Avi which is about a boy who is not quiet an expert at English. He says things like "I can harldy spel the alfabet," I sez. One day him and his teacher get held hostage when they go down to the basement and things only get crazy from there when they encounter a guy who also isn't great at English. By the end of the story I couldn't stop laughing, and after you read it, you won't be able to as well. So How did he get his English A? Which of the ten authors says that the worse smell at school was kids throwing up in the closet? Why is the grandma always yelling "bussa" in the story The Grade School Zone? Find out by reading Tripping Over the Lunch Lady and Other School Stories which has been said to be "In this collection of hilarious short stories, we get a double-dose of laughter, along with a side of goulash, served up by top-flight writers..."-ALAN Review and that "Students will likely see themselves in these 10 appetizing stories about the ups and many downs of school life . . . Unlike school cafeteria fare, this inviting buffet has something for everyone." -Kirkus. I hope you enjoy the book as much as I did.

Fun for the family
By amihp
I read this recently with my 2nd grader. The cover on this looked like so much fun I figured I'd give it a try. I was afraid my 7 year old would be too too young for these stories but he LOVED them. We're also very excited to have found a new author that we really like -- David Lubar! "Are too, are not, R2-D2" a line from Lubar's story which is constantly recited at our house. We also really enjoyed the mini author bios at the end of each story.
