I just discovered this past week that Louis Sachar published a 4th book in his Wayside School Series (6th if you count the two Sideways Arithmetic books, which are also great). Wayside School is a 30 story tall building (if you count the 19th floor that does not exist), so the meta answer is twice that.
Great puzzle! Wayside School and HOLES1ALouis Sachar's novel which won the 1999 Newberry Medal. Check out his Wayside School series also! (⬜️ ⬜️ ⬜️ ⬜️ 🟨 )[-----] were both big parts of my childhood!
