Teacher Problem Solver: Kirkus Review

KIRKUS REVIEWSBOOK 22018286 PAGES
“Grass-roots politics at its best, likely to leave readers flushed with laughter.”

Clara underlined these parts

Kirkus followed Dewey into sixth grade, where his caseload expands to teacher and school-policy problems. The review emphasized Dewey's research, brainstorming, poster campaigns, and presentations as examples of kids organizing around problems that affect them.

It also highlighted the comic machinery surrounding that activism: a shark-heavy curriculum, bathroom-paper politics, snack-machine battles, Clara's support, family banter, and a more explicitly diverse supporting cast.
