Summary
Ask any kid and they’ll tell you not all teachers are alike. Some seem to be there to punch a clock. Others, though, put everything they have into their students and into their subject matter. Those are the teachers kids remember later. Those are the teachers kids would do anything for. Ms. Bixby is one of those teachers to Topher, Brand and Steve. When she gets sick, these boys will do anything to be sure she can celebrate their last day together.
Review
I picked this up at a bookstore while I was shopping with my nieces. We got back to the house, and the three of us dove right into our new books. Pretty soon I was aware that I was building a pile of tissues next to me. And I was working really hard not to startle the girls by sobbing out loud. But this book was so touching. I love stories with amazing teachers! I was especially touched that she connected with these three students so much that they were willing to risk a great deal to give her a memorable celebration.
