Louis Sachar was born in East Medow, New York in 1954. His family moved to California when he was a young boy then he attended college at the University of California in  Berkeley, California . During his last year of college he received school credit for working at Hillside Elementary School, an experience that inspired him to write his first children's book, . Sideways Stories Wayside School Many of the characters in the book are based on children that Sachar taught and the teacher is based on Sachar himself. Sideway was storis from Wayside School published during Sachar's first year at Hastings College of Law in San Francisco. He did not know if he would be able to support himself by writing children's books, so he continued his legal education. He graduated from law school in 1980 and, after passing the bar exam, became a lawyer.
