The Teacher's Funeral: A Comedy in Three Parts

195 pp. | Dial | October, 2004 | Trade ISBN 0-8037-2736-4 $16.99
(1) YA Within days of his teacher's (unlamented) passing, fifteen-year-old Russell finds himself an unwilling pupil of her replacement: his older sister Tansy. Set in 1904 rural Indiana, the novel recounts events at the one-room Hominy Ridge School in a highly comic style, but beneath the humor there are clear emotional currents that make the final chapter particularly moving.
