Welcome to Wayside School, where absolutely nothing makes sense and every day is a bizarre new adventure. The builders made a tiny mistake when constructing the school: instead of building thirty classrooms side by side, they stacked them straight up into a thirty-story tower! Now, the students on the top floor experience the wildest, wackiest things you could ever imagine. In Mrs. Jewls's class, you will meet a teacher who accidentally turns her students into apples, a boy wrapped in dozens of raincoats, and a girl who tries to sell her own toes. Each chapter introduces a different student with their own hilarious and completely unpredictable story. Whether they are dealing with a dead rat sneaking into the classroom or trying to read upside down, the kids at Wayside School always find a way to make the best of their strange situation. This laugh-out-loud collection of interconnected tales is perfect for readers who love silly situations and wildly creative characters.
