For those lucky enough to have had that one special teacher, this book hits all the right spots with fantastic characters and a heartwarming plot.
I received a eARC of this book to read and review it. Thank you for the opportunity!
Carter has had a hard time with school. He's impulsive, has no filter, paces, spins, and struggles with writing. When he's assigned to Ms Krane, teacher who has a reputation as "the owl", who sees and knows everything, he anticipates the worst.
But, Ms. Krane shows that she understands Carter, in a way most other adults don't. She gives him opportunities to show his strengths, and opportunities to move. She connects him with adaptive technology that helps him get his ideas on paper. And she provides project based instruction that allows his classmates to see how smart he really is.
However, not everyone likes Ms Krane. She's having a baby via artificial insemination, and some of the parents, and even teachers, have trouble with the idea and start a petition. Carter HAS to show that Ms, Krane is a great teacher...but how?
This is a book that does a great job of showing how a neurodivergent kid feels like on the inside, and how an adult can make all the difference in the world-and so can kids. May every Carter have a Ms, Krane, and may every Ms, Krane have a Carter
This is an excellent book which belongs in libraries and school classrooms. It would be great as a unit study. And I am definitely adding it to the list for my Little Free Library!
