I read everything I could about this book on
Amazon....Now I just have to see if the local library
has it.
Thanks Linda - It does look like "must read". I like
everything about it so far.

I recommend every teacher read it. Esme is
fearless and extremely creative as she battles the
bureaucrats, gang kids, abusive parents and her own
problems during her first year. A must read for old
and new teachers alike.
