Picked up off the shelf and saw the first few lines and it reminded me of myself in school. <br/><br/>Follow this short and quick read of Jack and his journey of discovering what he is actually capable of without realizing it. I feel like there are children in every classroom with untapped talents within themselves if only they had a little more push from a teacher like Miss Stretchberry! <br/><br/>As I said, very quick read, but there is so much inside this tale that could be used in classroom discussions centering around poetry, perseverance, love, admirations, etc. <br/><br/>Pleasant surprise when I finished this in a 30 minute sessions of reading!
