This was a refreshing and wonderful story written by Gordon Korman. Mr. Kermit, a once much-loved educator, is done with teaching. He is one year away from an early retirement and can't wait. When his principal tells him he is being placed with the toughest class in the building, he is unphased. He sits and does crossword puzzles. Each student in the class has their own story of why they are there. No one has any expectations of success from any of them. But when an old adversary of Mr. Kermit's resurfaces, old wounds start to heal. A class of unteachables rally and learn and a teacher gets a new lease on life. (FIC KOR)
