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.
