BOOK NAME: Sideways Stories from Wayside School
AUTHOR: Louis Sachar
Seriously!
This book is hilarious. It's all about the kids in Ms. Jewel's class at
Wayside School. The reason it's called "wayside" school is because it
was built sideways. The school was supposed to be 1 story tall with 30
classrooms. But the builder made a mistake and built the school 30
stories high with each story only containing a single classroom. There
are a lot of crazy things that go on at Wayside.
Ms. Jewel's classroom is on the 30th floor of Wayside. At the beginning of the year, Ms. Jewel has a substitute teacher named Ms. Gorf. She is mean and can turn kids into apples. I know it sounds weird, but it's true. If you do anything wrong or give an incorrect answer, Ms. Gorf wiggles her ears, sticks out her tongue and then...poof!...you are turned into an apple. Pretty soon, all the students had been turned into applies by Ms. Gorf. All of the "apples" demand to be turned back into kids and they plan an "apple attack" on Ms. Gorf until she gives and turns them back into kids again! After that, Ms. Gorf leaves the school and never comes back and Ms. Jewel comes back to teach her class.
This is only one of the stories from the book. There are 29 more chapters in the book that talk about each kid in Ms. Jewel's class. Once they get passed Ms. Gorf and her apple turning magic meanness, Ms. Jewel's class has a pretty crazy rest of the year. There are 3 books about the Wayside School. I liked them because they were all funny and silly...and made me want to read the others.

I loved this book!! Louis Sachar is one of my favorite authors! I have a book autographed by him!
I have read that book and you did a spectacular job! It is even better than I would have imagined!

The book I have autographed is Someday, Angeline, or something like that. horseluver99, you're really smart.
I used to LOVE this book! I mean, I still do, but I read it a while ago. I have a book autographed by Henry Winkler! I think it's called The Curtain Went Up, My Pants Fell Down.
I haven't read this book but I have read Holes and Small Steps by Louis Sachar (those are really good).
I read those! there is also a sequel that is very cool.
sounds like a definite option, I'll do my best to find it at my library. I like Holes and Small Steps and I think I may find this one a good read as well.
I kept this book in late from the library and I paid 5 bucks for it.I read two of the Wayside stories in first grade I'm new here in Dogearred.I'm in third grade and I'm nine.I have a dog named Tootsie.Anyway,I read The sideways stories of wayside school.It's really good.
This is a really funny book and so are the next two books in the series.
