May 03, 2009: Absolutely compelling! I expected the book to go in a very different direction than it did, and I must admit I was tremendously pleasantly surprised.
I have been a teacher for twelve years and can relate to much of what Ms. Blake wrote about. She takes the reader into her world and doesn't let go of them until the final word.I got to know her students, fellow teachers and administrators through Blake's use of metaphors and descriptive writing. the moment I finished the book I had to email her directly, I was so impressed.I think the book would be fascinating to anyone interested in education at any level, but I'm recommending it to every teacher and administrator I can!
