WAYSIDE SCHOOL IS FALLING DOWN
"Watch closely," said Mrs Jewls. "You can learn much faster using a computer instead of a paper and pencil." Then she pushed the computer out of the window. The children all watched it fall thirty floors. "See?" said Mrs Jewls. "That's gravity." There are twenty-nine kids in Mrs Jewls' class and this book is about all of them, each turning a day at Wayside into one madcap adventure after another.
