Sideways Stories from Wayside School

Ever wonder what would happen if your school was built sideways? Get ready to explore the wackiest, most upside-down school imaginable, where the classrooms are stacked thirty stories high and each floor holds a bizarre new adventure you won't believe. You'll meet the students of the top floor, the class that was accidentally forgotten. Discover why a dead rat in a raincoat is a perfectly normal student, how you can turn apples into teachers, and what it takes to survive a classroom where learning is the strangest journey of all.

Louis Sachar is a Newbery Medalist and National Book Award winner celebrated for his uniquely imaginative and heartfelt stories for young readers. He first created the wacky world of Wayside School as a side project while studying law, drawing inspiration from his time as a recess supervisor at an elementary school. Sachar's ability to capture the authentic, and often absurd, logic of children has made his work a beloved fixture in classrooms and libraries for decades.
