Description

What *do* teachers feel when facing William Shakespeare, tales of family feud, breathless kissing scenes—all in front of a class of teens who are keeping their heads down (and threatening to fall asleep or plot their next prank in the process)?

We may never know what our own 8th or 9th grade teachers felt. But, on this count, educator Callie Feyen has done us a favor. She has written 'The Teacher Diaries: Romeo & Juliet.'

It begins with a kiss. Then, page by page, it reveals her generous, hopeful, and humorous heart.

For teachers everywhere, this is a beautiful book to help them remember why they teach. For those of us who just love to get the juicy details of what someone in a challenging position *really* thinks, this book will satisfy (and sometimes make us laugh, or cry).
