Bookroo's summary

Sue's first day at Wayside School is anything but ordinary. Her teacher, Mrs. Jewls, insists on adding and subtracting words, turning arithmetic into a whimsical challenge. As Sue grapples with this strange new world, she wonders if the impossible might just be possible. In a place where the unexpected is the norm, Sue must adapt quickly or risk being left behind. What other surprises await her in this topsy-turvy school?

From the publisher

From the Newbery-award winning author of Holes”Everyone take out your spelling books,” said Mrs. Jewls. “It’s time for arithmetic.”Sue is so excited for her first day at Wayside School. But things at Wayside are far from normal-and Sue’s teacher, Mrs. Jewls, is completely wacky. She expects the students to add and subtract words! Sue has never heard of anything so ridiculous. She knows adding apples plus oranges is impossible…or is it? Anything can happen at Wayside School.
