About This Book

Bestselling and Newbery Medal-winning author Louis Sachar knows how to make readers laugh. And there are laughs galore in the Wayside School Collection Box Set, which contains all three Wayside School paperbacks! There’d been a terrible mistake. Wayside School was built with thirty classrooms one on top of the other instead of next to each other! (The builder said he was very sorry.)

Our Review

This collection brings together three beloved chapter books set in a delightfully absurd elementary school built thirty stories high, where classrooms stack vertically due to a builder's hilarious error. Young readers will encounter a cast of unforgettable characters, from the wacky teachers to the peculiar students on the thirteenth floor, all crafted by a Newbery Medal-winning author renowned for his comedic touch. The episodic stories are perfectly suited for children developing their reading stamina, offering self-contained, laugh-out-loud adventures that build confidence with each chapter completed.

Sachar's genius lies in his ability to transform the familiar school setting into a playground of the imagination, where surreal humor feels completely logical and wildly entertaining. This box set is an exceptional choice for readers who have graduated from early readers and are ready for more complex narratives, yet still crave the immediate payoff of humor and whimsy. The complete collection provides a substantial and satisfying journey into a world where the ordinary becomes extraordinary, making it a cornerstone for any growing library of middle grade fiction.
