kienie 's review for:
The Year of Miss Agnes
by Kirkpatrick Hill
3.5/5.
Miss Agnes is that magical teacher that has the patience, knowledge, tolerance, resources and power to give each student the undivided, special attention they need. She is that miracle educator who sees the spark in each student and who is able to feed that spark into a flame. Alongside Miss Agnes' teachings we see a year in the lives of the locals. Their lives are in some ways vastly out of my experience: trapping, sewing, Alaska are all beyond my experience. Learning is encouraged in all ways it can be attained and the reader is shown practical and life improving applications of skills one learns at school. I wish it were longer, which is a good complaint to have. I wish it were more detailed in portraying the local culture. But it's still good, so I shall take what I can get. And keep in mind that it's aimed at young readers.
