Avi is one of my favorite authors. It is interesting to note that this author was dysgraphic as a child and told he would never be able to be an author - now he is a star in his genre. For grades 3-6 but will definitely be interesting and a help to all ages. Set in the 1920s, this book really glows with the effort of children who want above all else to keep their school - Ida, the 14 year old who is elected to be their teacher, is an excellent role model for blase modern youth.
