The Class

Feeling down about the world these days? This is the book for you. It's the true story of an astonishingly brilliant group of students and their teacher, Andy Bramante. Bramante is everything a teacher should be: guide, leader, inspirer, motivator, problem-solver, brainstormer, navigator. You will be breathless with anticipation as you follow a group of scientific-minded high school students come up with ideas for inventions, discoveries, and scientific breakthroughs and follow through with research worthy of longtime adult scientists. It's a fascinating story, well-worth reading, especially for those of us who feel deeply concerned about the state of schools and teens.
