Young Todd is the newest student at a very strange school. Wayside School was accidentally built "sideways," with one room in each of the 30 stories instead of 30 rooms on one floor. There's never a dull moment at Todd's new school. Todd's classroom is on the 30th floor with Mrs. Jewels, brainiac classmate Dana, Dana's best friend, Myron, and tomboy Maurecia, who has a big crush on Todd and shows it by punching him.
