A Newberry Honor Book!
My English teacher hates me. From the first day she saw me she rolled her eyes. Maybe she got an eyelash in them, I reasoned. Yeah right! Now, it’s inevitable. I’m stuck with her every Wednesday after school…just me and her. All because I’m Presbyterian! She’s trying to kill me. I just know it!Look, I can take a lot of things.
Cleaning rat cages…
Chalky cream puffs...
but...
Shakespeare?
This means war!
It’s good as a book…but even better on tape. You’d never think one person’s voice and tone could bring such depth to a story, but Joel Johnstone manages to do it. Your class will be in both stitches and tears. A must read for any English teacher who takes their job…and their students…way too seriously!
