I discovered Paul Zindel as a tween in the 1970s and like many kids my age, I read The Pigman and loved it. Fast foward decades and I am now 55 and loved the above book which was written long after I was an adult and it is as wonderful as anything else I've read by him. He was a marvelous storyteller and I am sorry that he is no longer with us, as there will not be any new book forthcoming. I hope to read everything he has ever written in time - my library does not own everything, so some of them I will have to buy on Amazon or Ebay. Highly recommended ! A Henry and Zelda arrive at the beginning of the school year to find that their favorite teacher, Miss Applebaum, has retired. They decide to bring her a begonia, and soon learn that she is actually dying of cancer. But, Miss Applebaum has quite a few more things to teach them before she goes. This novel is at times wacky and delightful, at times poignant and grave, and always quite genuine and believable. One wishes for her own Miss Applebaum to learn from. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
