New York City
It’s the funniest school in the universe, where the oddest things can happen! Tornado drills are the norm (for good reason). Public address systems sprout mouths and tongues and warn of wandering cows. Get a load of the teachers: from wicked Mrs. Gorf, who turns kids into apples and threatens to bake a pie, to Miss Jewls, who conducts an orchestra of imaginary instruments. You’ll be delirious with laughter when it comes to Louis Sachar’s Sideways Stories from Wayside School, no matter your age.
