Celebrated as the Newbery Medal-winning author of Holes, Louis Sachar is one of the most acclaimed and popular voices in contemporary children's literature. He first invented the zany world of Wayside School while working as a teacher's aide at an elementary school, drawing inspiration from the students he met. Sachar later attended law school but ultimately left his legal career behind, deciding that writing stories for young readers was his true calling and greatest passion.
