For a first novel, this book is amazing. I really enjoyed reading it and didn't put it down until I had completely finished it. This is a story of seven 5th graders and their new teacher. All of the students have different personalities and problems that each of them face and because of an unfortunate accident, they all have to face their problems. It is a great story of how these 5th graders have "grown up" during one school year. They actually make life altering changes and come to realize that what may have set them apart in the beginning, may just pull them together. Wonderful story - can't wait to have my 5th and 6th grader read it! (permitting they will actually read a book mom picks out)
