Sideways Stories from Wayside School

The book tells peculiar stories of a school that was accidentally built sideways with one classroom on each of its thirty stories. The children and teachers on the 30th floor have strange and humorous adventures. Bestselling and Newbery Medal-winning author Louis Sachar knows how to make readers laugh, and there are laughs galore in this perennial favorite. A Crazy Mixed-Up School. Wayside School was supposed to be built with thirty classrooms all next to each other in a row. Instead, they built the classrooms one on top of the other ... thirty stories tall! That may be why all kinds of funny things happen at Wayside School, especially on the thirtieth floor. You'll meet Mrs. Gorf, the meanest teacher of all, terrible Todd, who always gets sent home early, and John who can read only upside down - along with all the other kids in the crazy mixed-up school that came out sideways. But you'll never guess the truth about Sammy, the new kid ... or what's inside for Wayside School on Halloween!
