“I would say this is my least favorite of her books. Her writing style is not yet refined and the stories, while still moving, are not as interesting as her other books. I would recommend reading one of her more recent books and skipping this one.”

“This is very funny about Torey's class of misfits. Claude was a pregnant 12 yr. old who ended up giving her baby up for adoption and becoming valedictorian of her class. Lori had some brain damage so couldn’t read but a warm heart. Boo was autistic and would take of his clothes and flap around. Tomaso was violent because was angry his dad died and had to be in foster homes but was intelligent. Acted tough but showed concern for other kids, especially Lori. Lori got stuffed bear for Tomaso for his birthday and he tore it up but then had Torey sew it back up. I would think any teacher would be encouraged after reading this. Torey is an amazing teacher and author! This book is hilarious! Karen Arlettaz Zemek, author of "My Funny Dad, Harry"”
