WHAT'S THE STRANGEST HOTEL ROOM YOU'VE EVER STAYED IN? WHATEVER IT IS, THE WILSON FAMILY CAN TOP IT. BECAUSE FOR THREE DAYS, THEY LIVE IN AN ELEVATOR. For the Wilson family, only the best will do So when they arrive at the San Francisco Hotel and discover that there are no available rooms, they decide to stay in the place that suits them best of all: a room that has its ups . . . and its downs--a room called Otis, the hotel elevator. Staying in the elevator is absolutely "fantabulous " After all, where else would Mr. Walter Wilson, Mrs. Winona Wilson, 10-year-old Winslow Wilson, and his twin sister, Whitney Wilson get to meet: - A weary traveling salesman of kids' fads - A British rock group with a funny name - A lovesick bellhop - A society lady and her pampered poodle - And a slew of other surprising visitors For fans of middle-grade giants like Andrew Clements , Jerry Spinelli , Louis Sachar , and Judy Blume , The Elevator Family is a funny and heartwarming story about an eccentric family who'll be remembered long after they check out of Otis. Drop in on them for an elevator ride filled with adventure and zany humor

My dad read me and my sister this book and we enjoyed it a lot. It's funny and clever and says how a family can be happy and helpful without needing a lot of things,
My students love this book

I have taught third and fourth grade for years, and I have read this book each year. Each year they have loved it. Most of my fellow teachers have not heard of this book, and always want to borrow it. I'm not sure how I stumbled across it, but I'm glad I did.

Hope for a Sequel

This is a very funny book about a family who likes small places and takes a vacation inside an elevator. It has its ups and downs. They meet and help a lot of people during the four days they stay in the hotel. Douglas Evans should write a sequel to this book. The elevator family could stay in elevators all over the country. Only the best!

I thought this was a good book. I read it without putting it down. I also liked Apple Island by Doug Evans and this book was just as funny.
