A Teacher’s Testimonial posted on January 14, 2010 by admin

Mr. Renteria,

Two other teachers, besides myself, have used the novel thus far.  I have heard nothing but positive feedback from both the teachers and the students.  I am using it with my Freshman classes; I’ve even had some of my past students who are now in higher grades come get a copy and read it on their own.  I can honestly tell you that this is the first reading assignment that I have had 100% of my students engaged in the reading, even silent reading.  I thank you for the opportunity of working with the book.
