Among School Children by Tracy Kidder
NATIONAL BESTSELLER
"Among School Children is more than a book about needy children and a valiant teacher; it is full of the author's genuine love, delight and celebration of the human condition." --New York Times Book Review
Tracy Kidder--the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Soul of a New Machine and the extraordinary national bestseller House--spent nine months in Mrs. Zajac's fifth-grade classroom in the depressed "Flats" of Holyoke, Massachusetts. For an entire year he lived among twenty schoolchildren and their indomitable, compassionate teacher--sharing their joys, their catastrophes, and their small but essential triumphs.
As a result, he has written a revealing, remarkably poignant account of education in America.
Tracy Kidder attended the University of Iowa after graduating from Harvard. He has earned the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award, and the Robert F. Kennedy Prize for Literature. Many more literary awards, including the Kennedy Award. Kidder lives in Massachusetts and Maine and is the author of Strength in What Remains, My Detachment, Mountains Beyond Mountains, Home Town, Old Friends, Among Schoolchildren, House, and The Soul of a New Machine.
