Sideways Stories from Wayside School

Book • 1978
The book takes place in the 30th-story classroom of Wayside School, where each chapter focuses on a different student.

The school was built incorrectly, with 30 stories instead of 30 classrooms in a row.

The stories feature the antics of students under the care of their teachers, Mrs. Gorf and later Mrs. Jewls, and include the author himself as the yard teacher.

The book is known for its absurd humor and insightful portrayal of children's logic and behaviors.
