Wayside School Is Falling Down by Louis Sachar

4.0

Not as good as [b:Sideways Stories From Wayside School|15779|Sideways Stories From Wayside School (Wayside School #1)|Louis Sachar|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1347614755s/15779.jpg|1215581] - some of the stories just seemed too in-your-face, like the one that was written entirely backwards. But I did enjoy the story of the nineteenth storey and numerous other surreal episodes (like Benjamin Nushmutt being known as Mark Miller or some innocuous name, for most of his time in Wayside School). The weirdness factor is still high. What I particularly like about this is how Sachar has obviously made use of his experience in an elementary school to give life to the way the teachers behave in the Wayside School (e.g. Mrs Jewls is determined that the students learn three things every day, like how pickles are made, the capital of England, and 7+4).
