Beskrivelse
One September, Ralph Fletcher entered the world of the New York City public school as a staff developer for the Teachers College Writing Project. Walking Trees is the dramatic story of how he survived the wrenching highs and lows of that school year. Beautifully written, alternately funny and poignant, sad and angry, the book offers an authentic portrait of life in the city's schools. The stories and unforgettable characters in this bookthe principals, teachers, and children Fletcher worked withgive Walking Trees a novelistic quality in which the enormous difficulties of staff development in an urban setting are woven together with events in the greater world. Walking Trees re-creates a world in which all of us who have ever spent time in a school will instantly be able to recognize.
