Observer on HOLES

Welcome back to a new year at Wayside School – where things are as strange and eccentric as ever.

There are twenty-nine kids in Mrs Jewls's class on the thirtieth floor, and this book is about all of them: there is Todd, who is in trouble every day, until he gets a magic dog; Paul, whose life is saved by Leslie's pigtails; Ron, who dares to try the cafeteria's mushroom surprise; and all the others who help turn each day at Wayside School into one madcap adventure after another.

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. Part of Louis Sachar's much-loved Wayside School series, this is an unmissable, irrepressible story of mixed-up mayhem from the bestselling author of Holes.
