Title: completely different from the other wayside school books
Product review: My son was in love with the Wayside school books. He knew them by heart. I bought these figuring I would add to the collection, but they are completely different. They are still fun and enjoyable, but a different kind of book. This is more of a math code book. Little stories are told about the familiar characters trying to decipher Mrs. Jewels' math problems. The trick is, the problems are done with letters and words instead of numbers and the kids have to use logic and code-breaking to figure out how the numbers work out. There are clues and hints throughout the book and it's really interesting for the kids. But it is not necessarily the same kind of kid who enjoyed the regular wayside school books, so buyer beware.
