Sideways Stories From Wayside School by Louis Sachar

The book that I read was Sideways Stories From Wayside School by Louis Sachar. This is the first book in the Wayside school series. This book has 30 stories about the students in Mrs. Jewls class. I will tell you about the story I liked the most, it was Maurecia’s chapter. The setting of the book is in Wayside School.

One of the most important things about this book is that Wayside School was built sideways. It was supposed to be only one floor high with 30 classrooms on the ground. Instead the school was built 30 floors high and 1 classroom on 1 floor. I would say that Mauricia is tough because she can beat any boy in her class. She is also a person with a short attention span because she loves ice cream and she gets tired of it quickly. She is also popular because everyone likes her ice cream flavor the best which means everybody liked her.

I liked the book because of all the funny and imaginative things in it. For example in DeeDee’s chapter she was playing with a yellow ball that when you kicked it it went the opposite direction. I would recommend this book if you want to read a book with a lot of imagination. There is a show of wayside school but I don’t think it is on TV, I think that it is only on youtube. I have only seen one episode of the show and it was different than the book because in the book Mrs. Gorf was the teacher before Mrs. Jewls and in the show Mrs. Gorf was a sub. I would give the book 5 stars. If I needed to know something about a character and I went to the wrong page, I would continue reading it and not stop.
