Bestselling and Newbery Medal-winning author Louis Sachar knows how to make readers laugh. And there are laughs galore in perennial favorite Sideways Stories from Wayside School, the first book in the series!

Accidentally built sideways and standing thirty stories high (the builder said he was very sorry for the mistake), Wayside School has some of the wackiest classes in town, especially on the thirtieth floor. That’s where you’ll meet Bebe, the fastest draw in art class; John, who only reads upside down; Myron, the best class president ever; and Sammy, the new kid—he’s a real rat.

More than fifteen million readers have laughed at the clever and hilarious stories of Wayside School. So what are you waiting for? Come visit Wayside School! Kids 7 to 13 will zoom through these chapter books—laughing their way through the fast, funny, silly but relatable stories.

This funny chapter book series includes:


  • Sideways Stories from Wayside School

  • Wayside School Is Falling Down

  • Wayside School Gets a Little Stranger

Louis Sachar is the award-winning and bestselling author of Holes (now a major motion picture), as well as Stanley Yelnats’ Survival Guide to Camp Green Lake, the Marvin Redpost series, There’s a Boy in the Girls’ Bathroom, Dogs Don’t Tell Jokes, among many other stellar books.
