Accidentally built sideways and standing thirty stories high (the builder said he was very sorry for the mistake), Wayside School has some of the wackiest classes in town, especially on the thirtieth floor. That’s where you’ll meet Bebe, the fastest draw in art class; John, who only reads upside down; Myron, the best class president ever; and Sammy, the new kid—he’s a real rat.

More than fifteen million readers have laughed at the clever and hilarious stories of Wayside School. So what are you waiting for? Come visit Wayside School! Kids 7 to 13 will zoom through these chapter books—laughing their way through the fast, funny, silly but relatable stories.

This funny chapter book series includes:
  • Sideways Stories from Wayside School
  • Wayside School Is Falling Down
  • Wayside School Gets a Little Stranger

I absolutely love this book my teacher read it to us when I was in the second grade and she used to get soap tickled she'd have to stop and get herself collected before she could even keep reading it was so funny and then I rented it in the library 100 times and have read it about 100 Thomas myself but it's been about 20 years so I was so excited to find it on here I'm getting the whole set and reading all of them and going to have a good laugh all by myself
