Accidentally built sideways and standing thirty stories high (the builder said he was very sorry for the mistake), Wayside School has some of the wackiest classes in town, especially on the thirtieth floor. That’s where you’ll meet Bebe, the fastest draw in art class; John, who only reads upside down; Myron, the best class president ever; and Sammy, the new kid—he’s a real rat.  Enter the world of Wayside School in this wacky adaptation by Louis Sachar  and laugh your way through a not so typical school day!More than fifteen million readers have laughed at the clever and hilarious stories of Wayside School.
