Due to an architectural mistake, Wayside School was built with one classroom on top of another, thirty stories high! (The builder said he was sorry.) Maybe that’s why all kinds of strange and funny things happen there. You’ll meet the weirdest, meanest teacher of all time, a kid who can only read when he’s upside-down, and everyone else in this crazy, mixed-up school that came out sideways. But you’ll never guess the truth about Sammy, the new kid, or what’s in store for Wayside School on Halloween! This story collection mixes absurdity with keen observations of classroom reality for an unpredictable read.
