Summary
Add a SummaryOnce, there was a school and the meanest teacher there, at Wayside school was Mrs. Gorf. She could turn kids into apples. This book was very funny when it said that the new teacher thought the children were monkeys. First, Joe had a problem, then Sharie and so on. Will their problems be solved? There are many unique things about the school building. Find out! This book is very interesting.

It's about a crazy 30 story high school with kids that do everything backwards. When a normal kid is transferred into it, he has to learn how to fit in!

Mrs. Jewls looked at the children. They were horribly cute. In fact, they were much too cute to be children.
"I don't believe it," said Mrs. Jewls. "It's a room full of monkeys!"

The Wayside School was built sideways with all the classrooms on top of each other. This book contains thirty stories about the classroom that is at the very top. Some support values like sharing, honesty, and truthfulness. Others are just plain silly. Readers who have just graduated from chapter books will love wading into this collection of short chapters and silly characters. A wacky classic that has timeless appeal.
I'm 39 and I remember reading this in school and I loved it!!! I read it again a few years ago and its just as funny as I remembered!!!

The Horn Book Review listed above is pure nonsense. I recommend Bibliocommons removes this review.
I have been professionally recommending this book to children for twelve years. They love it. Louis Sachar knows how to speak to children and has been rewarded with top prizes for children's literature.

I love it !!!!!!!! it is so funny !!!!!
Great for Read Aloud
My 5-year old loves these books but- as a warning to parents- there's a lot of calling kids stupid, teasing, and yelling shut up. For younger kids like mine, the language isn't always appropriate. The stories are great and very engaging though.
