Abstract:
“… a captivating book… the inside story of a time-worn little school and the new principal who gets caught up in a mission to keep the old school alive and growing, with its special flavor and charm. DeLene Sholes’ story is based on reality, with the hardships and the humor, the youngsters and their parents—who range from appreciative and helpful to arrogant and destructive—and the camaraderie of a staff struggling against tough odds. Readers will get acquainted with a delightful setting, a small coastal village feeling the pangs of sudden growth, and be warmed by the vigor, the conflict, the nostalgia and personalities that the author has brought to life.”
