A collection of short stories all about the zany happenings at the Wayside School, built sideways with one classroom on each of thirty stories rather than thirty classrooms on one story. Each tale tells about a member of the classroom, from the mean teacher who turns all of the children into apples, until they turn on her, to the girl who falls out the window of the thirtieth story and survives. A funny, satisfying read, this book is great to read in parts (for when you only have a small amount of time to read), since each tale is only a few pages long.
