AlbakiReads Editorial

A classroom full of second chances

Room 117 brings together students labeled as troublemakers and a teacher who has nearly given up on teaching. The class’s isolation and Mr. Kermit’s troubled professional past shape a school-year story about what happens when people with low expectations of one another are forced to share a classroom. Alongside the promised mayhem, the description points toward renewed investment in teaching and the possibility of redemption, without suggesting that change comes easily.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Middle-grade readers interested in school-centered fiction
  • Readers who enjoy stories about misfit classmates and teacher-student relationships
  • Suitable for the listed 9–12 age group
