Book description
'Watch closely,' said Mrs Jewls. 'You can learn much faster using a
computer instead of paper and pencil.' Then she pushed the computer
out of the window. The children all watched it fall thirty floors.
'See?' said Mrs Jewls. 'That's gravity . . .'
That's the way things happen at Wayside School. There are twenty-nine
kids in Mrs Jewls' class and this book is about all of them: there is
Todd, who is in trouble every day, until he gets a magic dog; Paul,
whose life is saved by Leslie's pigtails; Ron, who dares to try the
cafeteria's mushroom surprise; and all the others who help turn a day
at Wayside School into one madcap adventure after another.
