It feels like a different lifetime ago that I was a 2nd grade teacher. And in certain (good) ways this book brought me to that time that was one of the hardest times in my life. What I was hoping for in a teaching career versus the reality was something hard to deal with and then when my brother died during my 2 and a half year of teaching, it was all out the window. This book, set in an elementary school classroom, with a teacher who loves writing and has a communal class notebook sounds exactly like something I would've done in my classroom. And for that I enjoyed this book even though it was quite silly. It made me reflect on how far I've come since I was a teacher and am grateful I found the career for me now as a librarian.
