About the Novel: Meet the wacky world of Wayside School. The school has thirty classrooms but instead of being built in a row, they are built one on top of the other. This year, Mrs. Jewls is on maternity leave, and Mrs. Gorf, Mrs. Drazil, and Miss Nogard take over with disastrous results. Find out why it is not good to have a teacher with three ears that can hear your thoughts, and how Louis cleaned the school after the cows all left.
