i was so disappointed with this- i liked the first half of the book--the classroom, the kids, the types, the issues, the new teacher who is not easy to fool, etc. i did notice, though, that it is not written in authentic voice of kids---not like sharon draper or judy blume or rita garcia williams-- but i still did like it a lot. then-- the accident-- and it becomes very heavy handed cautionary tale --play nice or someone you all love might have a terrible accident-- i wanted to love it but was disappointed instead. Am interested to find out what the kids think of it.
