Wayside School is back in session in this brand-new, fourth installment in the perennially beloved and best-selling series by Newbery Medal-winning author Louis Sachar.

That includes Sharie, who loves her striped-and-spotted umbrella more than anything; Kathy, who has a bad case of oppositosis; Jason, who has to read the longest book in the world; and the rest of Mrs. Jewls’s class on the 30th floor, who are busily collecting toenail clippings.

The summer after junior year of high school looks bleak for Alton Richards. His girlfriend has dumped him to hook up with his best friend. He has no money and no job. His parents insist that he drive his great-uncle Lester to his bridge club four times a week and be his cardturner—whatever that means. Alton’s uncle is old, blind, very sick, and very rich.

More teetering tales and quirky characters from the 30th floor of towering Wayside School. The craziness continues.

When their teacher, Mrs. Jewls, leaves to have her baby, the kids go through a series of substitutes, each one a little stranger than the last.

In 1523, in a far-away, bankrupt kingdom, there lives a magician named Anatole who considers himself to be the greatest in the land, having cured the King of a deadly illness decades ago. Except now, Anatole's spells have dried up. He can't even turn sand into gold - the most basic magic. Anatole's chance presents itself. The wedding of the century approaches, with the princess to marry a neighbouring prince. The only problem is she's fallen in love with a lowly apprentice scribe.

Long ago and far away (and somewhere south of France) lies the kingdom of Esquaveta. There, Princess Tullia is in nearly as much peril as her struggling kingdom. Esquaveta desperately needs to forge an alliance, and to that end, Tullia's father has arranged a marriage between her and an odious prince. However, one month before the "wedding of the century," Tullia falls in love with a lowly apprentice scribe. The king turns to Anatole, his much-maligned magician. Seventeen years earlier, when Anatole first came to the castle, he was regarded as something of a prodigy.
