This class is amazing. Totally re energized me after an "off" year. I loved all of the ideas and have a wonderful game plan for this year!!
Ellen Angeles
This book was great and I throughly enjoyed the class. The book was easy to read and helped spark creativity in our high school English classes. We read student work that was more interesting and allowed students to revisit their work to make it richer.

I would recommend this book to any principal who runs a book study group at his/her school. Kids need more chances to explore and play and less of "sit down and be quiet"
