READER GUIDE • SCHOOL DIVISION
Books about school for kids who notice when school gets weird.
Middle school gives Dewey a larger territory: teachers, assignments, classroom problems, policies, student campaigns, presentations, and all the small systems kids have to navigate every day.
School is full of cases.
In Dewey Fairchild, Teacher Problem Solver, Dewey’s problem-solving operation moves into sixth grade. He researches, brainstorms, organizes friends, makes presentations, and tries to change situations that students think are unfair, embarrassing, confusing, or simply ridiculous.
For readers who like school stories, the appeal is not only the jokes. Dewey treats students as people who can observe a system, gather evidence, make an argument, and try to improve it.
