Bookroo's summary

At Wayside School, a thirty-story building with peculiar quirks, students face oddities like a nonexistent nineteenth floor and a parade of substitute teachers. As Mrs. Jewls prepares for a baby, chaos ensues with unexpected classroom antics. Will the students unravel the mysteries of their strange school, or will the peculiarities continue to baffle them? Dive into the hilarity and discover what makes Wayside School so uniquely unpredictable.
