This is such a great non-fiction read. I’m not the biggest fan of non fiction, however I had to read this for a class and it was such a unique and inspiring read to see where the students go in life.

I love the movie Freedom Writers and was interested in reading the real life stories of the students in Ms. Gruwell's class. This book tugged at the heartstrings while also providing smiles seeing how far they came and the history they were making. It was a very enjoyable book.
