(3) 4-6 In alternating narration, Topher, Brand, and Steve each reveals his unique and touching relationship with their beloved sixth-grade teacher, who is missing the class party for cancer treatment. To show their gratitude, the boys attempt a hospital visit carrying meaningful gifts...and chaos ensues. The journey is poignant without being overly sweet, hitting just the right balance of humor and sadness.
