From a website:

"I just had the best time EVER voicing the role of "Dana" for the Nickelodeon special "Wayside School" based on the books by Louis Sachar. It was my first REAL voice job and it was really cool to be in the recording studio and working with the entire cast. "Dana" is a super-organized, in control ten year-old and she was a blast to play! "Wayside School" will be airing sometime in the spring and its a very funny script!" (Lisa Ng)

I used to love these books when I was younger! Anyone know any more information about the movie?

I looooved these books. Actually I still do. I love all his books. Two other favorites are "Someday Angeline" and "There's a Boy in the Girl's Bathroom." Louis Sachar's books are some of the best books I have ever read.

Those books were my favorites when I was younger! Those kids were as odd as they could get which comforted me a lot.

I got the info from http://www.lisang.ca, which wasn't a whole lot.

They said it was a NICK "special" so I'm guessing that means a movie and not a TV series. And since this girl is doing a voice over, it must be a cartoon. I think it would be cool if they did an actual movie rather than some cartoon.

Those books are great, as is Holes, which made a pretty good movie in its own right.

Does anyone recall the old "Goosebumps" TV series?

Nope. Just "Are You Afraid of the Dark?", which was more than enough.

Love the Wayside books! Got turned on to them (again) recently when I acted in John Olive's stage version of Sideways Stories From Wayside School. What a gas!

Oh man, I LOVE those books! Loved them when I was a kid, still love them now. They're such delightfully weird, random stories.
