The Wayside School Series

Things at the Wayside School are just a little…different. The school has 30 stories, but no 19thstory. The students are slightly strange, and the teachers even more so. For example, there is Mrs. Gorf, who turned her students into apples when they misbehaved. Fortunately, she accidentally turned herself into an apple, and was then eaten by a substitute. There is Todd, who always gets in trouble every day and is sent home on the kindergarten bus at noon. His mission is to see what exactly the class does every day from 12:00 to 2 pm.

Many other strange characters and unusual events in these books make for very fun and interesting reading!
