Welcome to Wayside School, a building that defies logic and gravity! Forget everything you know about elementary education; this thirty-story school built with one classroom per floor is a wild ride. Louis Sachar's *Wayside School* book series, starting with *Sideways Stories from Wayside School*, is a hilarious collection of interconnected short stories featuring quirky students and even quirkier teachers.
Think Mrs. Gorf, who turns naughty students into apples! Or Miss Zarves, who doesn't exist on the nineteenth floor. From sharpening pencils to facing existential crises, each chapter is a self-contained burst of absurd humor and surprisingly insightful observations about childhood. The books are quick, engaging reads perfect for reluctant readers and anyone who enjoys a good laugh. Explore the series and see if you can make sense of the nonsensical world of Wayside School. Just remember, on Wayside, anything is possible (and probably weird!). What's your favorite story from Wayside School?
