Synopsis "Wayside School Gets a Little Stranger "

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.

Louis Sachar was born on March 20, 1954 in New York. While he was in the School of Economics, he accidentally taught some classes at a school. There, he discovered two things: he enjoyed teaching and he did not like the books the kids had to read. This developed the seed of a writer in him, which over time he was able to and knew how to put into practice. He finished Economics and began to study Law. Meanwhile, he made some forays into children's and youth literature. He definitively rose to fame in 1998 with his book "Holes", for which he received the National Award for Youth Literature and the Newbery Medal, the highest award given to an author of children's and youth literature in the United States. After this, he was able to leave the legal profession and dedicate himself to what he really liked: writing. In 2003, "Holes" was made into a movie: "Holes, the curse of the holes", where he himself took care of the screenplay.
