*He has had a rough go of it in elementary school and isn't looking forward to getting Ms. Krane as his teacher. She is supposed to be the meanest teacher there is.
*Carter is also dismayed to find out Missy is in his class because they DO NOT get along. Could anything else go wrong?
*Just as Carter gets use to his new teacher, he finds out she is pregnant and may not be able to finish the year with the class.
*Once Ms. Krane is gone, Carter has some big decisions to make for himself, for his new teacher, and even for Missy, his class enemy.
What I Thought of It - Five Observations/Reflections...
*I am a huge Rob Buyea fan so I was quite excited to receive his upcoming novel in the mail.
*As soon as I began Carter's story, I knew I was in for a real treat.
*Being that I have taught fourth grade for many many years, I could totally relate to Carter's story and his experiences in his fourth-grade classroom.
*There were so many heart-warming moments woven throughout the pages of Rob Buyea's upcoming novel, but for me the most touching were the scenes with Carter's grandmother. Oh, what a lady she was.
*I know that my fourth grade readers will be able to connect with Carter and his classmates and learn so much from the lessons they learned. I can't wait to share this story with my upcoming class.
Who Should Read It...
*Obviously, this novel must be shared with all fourth-grade readers. I'm looking forward to sharing the novel with my class either as a class read aloud and/or a book club selection. The story would also work with readers in third grade along with kids in fifth and sixth grade. Happy Reading!
