Synopsis

As heard by kids everywhere on the Echo Dot Kids Edition, the Classroom 13 books are a hilarious new chapter book series-perfect for reluctant readers and fans of Roald Dahl, Captain Underpants, and Sideways Stories from Wayside School.

The Unlucky Lottery Winners of Classroom 13 is the first title in a series about the students of a very unlucky classroom. The easy-to-read chapters are full of humor, action, secret codes, and fun-and will prompt hours of conversation among friends, families, and classmates. The final chapter encourages young readers to write their own chapter and send it in to the author, Honest Lee.

When unlucky teacher Ms. Linda LaCrosse wins the lottery, she shares her winnings with her class-giving each student over a BILLION DOLLARS!

You might think this was nice, but it was not. It was a nasty idea. With great money comes awful allergies, terrible taxes, violent volcanoes, and other pesky problems. As the students of Classroom 13 are about to learn, winning the lottery is not always lucky.

This felt like My Weird School meets Sideways Stories... but less enjoyable for me. None of these chapters (characters) were redeeming for me, and I found myself incredibly annoyed at all of the characters instead of laughing like I thought I would.......more

Goodreads review by Rex on June 06, 2017

When you were a kid, did you and your friends ever ask each other stuff like, "WHAT WOULD YOU DO WITH A BILLION DOLLARS?" Well, this book has 28 diverse students who answer that question with their own ideas... Of course, everything goes terribly (wonderfully), horribly (hilariously) wrong. Some sto......more

Goodreads review by Fox Lake District Library on January 17, 2018

The Radical Readers gave this book an average of 4.5 stars! They thought it was very funny and they liked how the chapters were written from the different student's perspectives. The students they liked best were Ava, Emma, and Liam. Some thought that buying unlimited sweets would be a great thing t......more
