Word after Word after Word

A new book by by Patricia MacLachlan (think Sarah, Plan and Tall). There is no other way to say it then THIS BOOK IS GREAT. It tells the story of  a writer coming to a classroom and teaching students about writing non-traditionally (think workshop versus outlines and teacher structure). At the same time it tells the story of  the children in the class, what they are going through, and how their writing helps them deal with their reality. By then end of the book everyone is in tears, children, parents, teachers, and this reader.A definite read aloud to your class to introduce writing workshops.

No book trailer yet...maybe my class will be the first to make one in the fall???
