"Cover to Cover Wonderment!"
"A must read, teacher or not"
"Beautifully written book about what teaching really is! The real magic of successful teaching: compassion, authenticity and a true desire to see your students succeed in and out of the classroom. You don't need to be a teacher to learn something from this book!"
"Much more than a memoir, this is a nonjudgmental eyewitness account of American culture and our educational system."
"Humble, insightful, and refreshingly positive, the author even manages to build suspense into his well-crafted narrative, deftly engaging readers to root for his goals and hoping against hope that he doesn't give up the good fight. Required reading for anyone considering a career in teaching, for parents navigating the public school system, and for anyone who fondly remembers a teacher who took the time to notice and care."
"Honest, powerful, and unputdownable!"
"...pure gold for anyone who is in education, from teachers to administrators to custodians to parents to taxpayers. What makes it even better is Mike's talent as a writer. He knows how to turn a phrase and use metaphors to make his experiences relatable and memorable."
