Tracy Kidder - the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of "The Soul of a New Machine" and the extraordinary national bestseller House - spent nine months in Mrs. Zajac's fifth-grade classroom in the depressed "Flats" of Holyoke, Massachusetts.
For an entire year he lived among twenty schoolchildren and their indomitable, compassionate teacher - sharings their joys, their catastrophes, and their small but essential triumphs.
As a result, he has written a revealing, remarkably poignant account of education in America... and his most memorable, emotionally charged, and important book to date.
