5.0

I adored this novel, told in a cohesive collection of short stories for each teacher. It begins with an elderly substitute passing away in a teacher’s lounge, with his last wish being to have his ashes scattered in the school parking lot.

Preorder this for all teachers in your life, or any fans of Abbott Elementary!
