Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"[T]he most buoyant example of ensemble work since E. L. Konigsburg's The View from Saturday (1996) and the best of Gregory Maguire's Hamlet Chronicles. . . . Though only a small part is actually written as a script, the entire tale is purest stagecraft: quick, funny, sad, full of heart, and irresistibly absorbing." -- Booklist, starred review
[T]his story of middle-school classmates who come together to honor their teacher and her war-injured brother entertains. . . . Miss Loupe is the kind of teacher every kid dreams about, and the all for one, one for all mentality that comes through as the students band together is inspiring. -- Publishers Weekly
In this lively, often funny novel, an enthusiastic teacher brings improv to restless sixth graders at a rundown school on a North Carolina Air Force base. . . . Pitched to readers in both military and civilian families, this engaging story avoids larger questions of war and peace, focusing instead on how they affect the lives of American kids who deal with the consequences every day. -- Kirkus Reviews
The classroom is often a place of lessons, but Holmes tells her storyinfused with details of military lifewith heart and energy, and leaves any didacticism at the door. Sixth graders, military brats or not, will identify with this rich cast. -- Horn Book

Reseña del editor:

In her first ever teaching job, Miss Loupe uses improvisational acting exercises with her sixth-grade students and when she experiences a family tragedy, her previously skeptical class members use what they have learned to help her.
