This book sounds very interesting. As a teacher, it makes me glad to hear that you were so moved by a book that someone read to you at school. Your principal really made an impact on your life. I am going to put this on my list of books to read. Do you think that the content of this book is appropriate and understandable for third grade students?
deb, I'm a 4th grade teacher. I have read this book to preview it for reading to my class. It is an excellent story, but I would not recommend reading it to your students. There is content that I feel is too mature for 3rd and 4th graders. Please pick up a copy and read it for yourself. You will know your students best and will be able to decide if they can handle it. I think this would be a better read for 6th grade and up.
Thanks for your insight. Good advice!
