A book full of crazy stories about the students in Ms Jewls class.  They are a class not like any other, in a school that is not like any other.  Their class is on the 30th story on a building with only 29 floors (there is not 19th story, it doesnt exsist).  Each chapter in the book tells a little story about one of the students and they do connect through out the book too.  They are just silly random funny stories.  One is about a student tired of being in class and wanting to be free, so he wonders down into the basment (no one goes there) and he runs into some people and he ends up signing a peice of paper that lets him be free.  Throughout the rest of the book no one understood why he could do whatever he wanted.  One student gets stuck on the 19 floor for three chapters and they were all chapter 19.  These students act unlike any other, and even the Ms Jewls is on the crazy side of things, she doesnt even know one of her students real names.  The book has pigtales saving a boys life, food that makes you kiss someone, a boys who is nicer the nice and a girl who is meaner then mean, and students being students.  Don't worry though, the school doesnt really fall down in the end, but it does however become a school for cows.

I would recomend this book for any young student.

I dont think anything is wrong with this book.  It is just a fun silly book full of fun silly stories.

I love this book.  I read this one and the first one about a million times back in elementary school.  It brings back memories.
