There's A Boy in the Girls' Bathroom

This book was read to me when I was in second grade. That was in 1993. I remember our teacher said we could lay our heads down on our desk and either have a short nap or listen to this story for an hour. She would read for an hour each day and it quickly became my favorite part of the school day. I could never nap because I just had to know what happened next in Bradley Chalkers story. It was uplifting and inspiring to listen to the triumphant story of a 5th grade boy who struggled in school to be liked and to beleive in himself. Now 22 years later I have a little boy in 1st grade and he has come to enjoy chapter books and I knew this would be one of the books I had to read to my children. This book is especially suitable for my little boy as he has ADHD and is struggling a bit in school this year. He isn't overtly mean like Bradly is in the beginning of the story but he too has some behavior struggles and finds it a bit difficult to beleive in himself at times. Its a great opportunity to be able to spend some time together and watch him put himself in Bradly's shoes. It's been fun to see how intuitive and bright my little boy is as we read this together and he shares his insights with me. I'm grateful my second grade teacher read this to our class in 1993 and that I can now read this to my own children in 2015. I have found that it is just as relevant today as it was back then.

I absolutely love this book and read it every year to my 4th graders. Great book about being kind and true friendship.

I read this in 1989 when I was in elementary school and I just read it to my own children. Great story!

I have read this book before and it is a fantastic book. I’ve really been trying to get my hands on it but buy from somewhere else. Amazon has said this would come overnight and then updates the shipping status every day extending arrival. They’ve gotten pretty good at this shady business. The book is a really good story and very entertaining. I’d recommend buying the book but not from this shipper.

My son just moved to the 3rd grade, and this was on the list for his summer reading. I didn't read what it was; I just searched on Amazon, saw the stars, and bought it. We just finished chapter 28, halfway through, and I can't wait to finish it. 😆 It is very well written, and the first-person dialogue makes it very entertaining. My son said right on the very first day of reading, "Oh boy, I'm glad we got this book!" It's just that good; it keeps you engaged and involved. Good stuff. We are very happy we got this book 📖 😀

I read this book, Sunday (Feb. 17, 2002) while I was going through a sad time. I love this book, and when I first read it when I was in middle school, I knew it was a special book. "There's a Boy in the Girl's bathroom" is funny, heartwarming, genuine, sincere, and powerful. Bradley Chalkers---he is considered the "monster" in the book because he misbehaves, and he thinks he is a "monster" on the inside and the outside. His counselor, Carol, sees Bradley as the sweetest little boy deep inside himself. At first, Bradley doesn't want to listen to her, but then he does, and his life makes a beautiful transition. He is the person that he always was supposed to be. The likeable boy that everyone comes to adore. "There's a Boy in the Girl's Bathroom" is a story about a little boy that changes. It touches me so much because in that 195 page you see Bradley change into the person that he was meant to be. I was feeling bad yesterday, but when I read that it makes me realize that if Bradley Chalkers, a fifth grader, can change his life so young, we all can too. It feels good to know that we can all grow and mature with a little help for people who care about us.

This book should be read by child psychologists everywhere! It truly captures the essence of being a troubled kid who wants to be loved. Engaging, hilarious, and touching, this novel is one of the greats. I'd strongly recommend it to any reader of any age!

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. I finished it to the very end. It was incredibly funny, with unexpected twists and turns. I highly recommend this book!

Me encanta la historia, sólo que nunca llegó. Me hicieron devolución.

Nachdem ich Louis Sachar' "Holes" regelrecht verschluckt habe, wollte ich unbedingt andere Bücher dieses Autors haben. "There's A Boy in the Girls' Bathroom" ist eine herrliche amüsante Lektüre – nicht nur für Kinder, auch für die Eltern und Lehrer sehr empfehlenswert, sehr lehrreich und trotzt der leichten Story doch tief. Sachar ist ein wunderbarer Kinderpsychologe und Beobachter. Ich erinnere mich an einen "Bradley" in unserer Schule, den ich damals ziemlich ätzend fand; dank dieses wunderbaren Buches verstehe ich unseren "Bradley" nun viel besser... Lesenswert!

Çok komik! İlk tepkim bu olsa da bu kitap, küçük çocukların karşılaştığı bazı korkulara ve reddedilme korkusunun ya da başarılı olma korkusunun üstesinden nasıl gelineceğine değinen harika bir kitap.

Ótima qualidade, entrega no prazo.

多読をはじめて一ヶ月。同著者のMarvin Redpostのシリーズを数冊読んだあと、この本を読みました。 感想は、、、涙が止まらない。子供にかかわる全ての大人に読んでほしいと思いました。 いままだ7歳の娘には、ちょっと難しいかな。小学校高学年になったら、読んでほしい。 いい本に出会えて本当にうれしい。 読み終えたいま、とても清々しい気持ちです。 多読をはじめたかたにもオススメします。 内容がおもしろいので、難なく読み飛ばせますよ。
