It’s time for Flashback Friday, where we feature a book that’s at least two years old. They could be books we’ve read and loved or books we need to jump on.
Wayside School Is Falling Down by Louis Sachar

Watch closely,” said Mrs. Jewls. “You can learn much faster using a computer instead of paper and pencil.” Then she pushed the new computer out the window The children all watched it fall thirty floors and smash against the sidewalk. “See?” said Mrs. Jewls. “That’s gravity! I’ve been trying to teach you about gravity, but the computer showed you a lot quicker!”
That’s the way things happen at Wayside School. There are 29 kids in Mrs. Jewls’s class and this book is about all of them. There is Todd, who got in trouble every day … until he got a magic dog; Paul, whose life was saved by Leslie’s pigtails; Ron, who dared 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. But, after the things that happened in Sideways Stories from Wayside School, what would you expect?
