Sideways Stories from Wayside School by Louis Sachar

College credits, no homework, no term papers, no tests, all I had to do was help out in a second/third-grade class at Hillside Elementary School in Berkeley, California. I thought it over and decided it was a pretty good deal. While a student at University of California, Berkeley, author Louis Sachar began working at an elementary school to earn college credit. Wayside: The Movie is a television special loosely based on the books that aired in 2005, and was followed-up by the Wayside animated series that originally ran from 2007 to 2008.

Sachar released two spinoff books of mathematics and puzzles interspersed with stories: Sideways Arithmetic from Wayside School (1989) and More Sideways Arithmetic from Wayside School (1994). The 19th floor was omitted from the plans. As such the school was constructed as a 30-story skyscraper. The books tell of a school where the contractor misread the blueprints and mistakenly built it sideways. Titles in the series include Sideways Stories from Wayside School (1978), Wayside School is Falling Down (1989), Wayside School Gets A Little Stranger (1995), and Wayside School Beneath the Cloud of Doom (2020). Wayside School is a series of short story cycle children's books written by Louis Sachar.
