Summary: What a Story!
Review: This book was one of the best books I have ever read. I usually read only fiction, but this true-life story was inspiring, uplifting and enlightening. I read it in 3 days, because I couldn't stand to put it down. The writing style was very engaging. The story of these special needs kids and their teacher made me laugh AND cry. The obstacles that they had to overcome in every day life were hard enough, but they achieved what many other "regular" kids could not. A GREAT BOOK!

Summary: The title says it all
Review: This book was one of the most wonderful, heart warming stories that I have ever read. The story line moved along at a nice pace and was easy reading as well. I felt I was able to really relate to the kids involved. Although I do not have a special needs child myself, I feel I have a better understanding and appreciation for what these kids are like and capable of. It is also awesome to see a teacher so caring for his students. I will definately recommend this book to others. Be prepared to need several hankies!
