The Year of Miss Agnes

115 pp. | McElderry | September, 2000 | Trade ISBN 0-689-82933-7 $$16.00
(2) 4-6 In this story set in 1948 Alaska, ten-year-old Frederika is intrigued by the new teacher, wondering if she'll last the year at their remote Athabascan village's one-room school. The pleasures in this novel stem less from the plot (which is essentially nonexistent) than they do from the anecdotes about Miss Agnes's masterful teaching methods, as conveyed by Fred in her distinct and definite voice.
