Very well written. The voice of the main character comes through loud and clear. Mac runs his business out of the fourth stall in the bathroom. For a fee, he will solve your problems until a character named Staples arrives and threatens to end not only Mac's business but also life as he has known it. This is a great read-aloud book because Mac's voice comes through so loudly and clearly. The humor brings this story to life. ( )

This book was actually more intense than I was expecting...lots of kids being beat up and life-or-death situations. I really liked it though. I like kids books where they live in this little microcosm of children, and all the adults who live outside of it are completely oblivious to everything that's happening, even though it doesn't really make sense. The main character tells his parents that he'd fallen off his bike every time he gets beat up and figures they just think he's really bad at bike-riding.
Some good kid friendships here. ( )

The Fourth Stall is a fun read. It was surprisingly intense and very well written. It wasn’t as light as I thought it was going to be and there was a lot of action.

The kids that are in this book are so brave, smart and tough. I wouldn’t want to go up against them.

Rylander creates an exciting, unique story that is impossible to stop reading. I promise this is a very hard book to put down. I definitely recommend it. ( )
