Synopsis
Wayside School was meant to be a one-storey building with thirty classrooms side by side. Instead, it was constructed thirty storeys high, with one classroom per floor. This peculiar design leads to a series of bizarre and humorous events, especially on the thirtieth floor. Here, you'll meet characters like Bebe, the fastest artist; John, who reads upside down; and Sammy, the new student who's quite literally a rat. Each chapter introduces a new, quirky tale from this unconventional school.
