Things Go Wrong in A School Built Wrong
Book_♥; Sideways Stories of Wayside School
Author_♥; Louis Sachar
Pages_♥; 118
Everyone knows that silliness is like a disease, it spreads amongst everyone. Well in Sideways Stories of Wayside School, it can be clearly seen that the school starts the silliness. First of all, the building was supposed to be built with 30 classrooms right next to each other in a straight row. Instead, the builder got mixed up and built the school 30 stories high ! Louis Sachar begins his tales on the thirtieth floor, where Mrs. Gorf, the meanest teacher, works her magic and turns her students into apples one by one. Besides this mischief, the children somehow manage to turn themselves back into humans, transform Mrs. Gorf into an apple, and have her eaten by Louis, the yard teacher. Soon, a new teacher, Mrs. Jewels replaces Mrs. Gorf and she is so nice, the children are terrified. The children begin to adjust to their new teacher and also her behavior system. Each chapter describes a new character, much like Seedfolks did. The audience learns about Joe, the child who couldn't count correctly, Todd, the blamed one, Sharie, the lazy sleeper, Bebe, the artist, and much more. Each kid comes with their own story to describe their personality and doings. Along with this unique formatting, the book also contains a contagious amount of humor that anyone at any age would enjoy. Read this story to find out how the children get rid of Mrs. Gorf, spirit and all, plus hear the hilarious ending that will keep you smiling. It sure kept me smiling. :)

Mackenzie,
To be honest, this book is everywhere. I've been reading it since I was in second grade. I own a copy, although my cover is more updated than the others. And YES, this is a very cute book, because the author actually based the characters on real people. But of course, he exaggerated them. I enjoy reading novels as opposed to series. I think series carry on a little too much. Haha.
