Wayside School Gets a Little Stranger cover

Welcome back to Wayside School, where things are about to get EVEN stranger in this brilliant and quirky instalment of the Wayside School series – from Louis Sachar, author of the bestselling novel Holes

When a substitute teacher is called to stand in for Mrs Jewls, it can mean only one thing – strange things are going to happen at Wayside School. Miss Mush has prepared a special lunch of baked liver in purple sauce and it is pet day on the thirtieth floor. There are dogs and cats and frogs and skunks and an orange named Fido, causing a terrible commotion. Not to mention the arrival of the POOPS handbook in the playground …

Enjoy all the fun in this enormously humorous and quirky introduction to Louis Sachar's famously dry wit. From top to bottom, Wayside is packed with quirky and hilarious characters who are all brought to life in this new edition with delightful illustrations by Aleksei Bitskoff. This is an unmissable, irrepressible story of mixed-up mayhem from Louis Sachar, the bestselling author of Holes.
