Such a strange story! I don't need to recap pbs summary, but I will add that this is definitely not a book for everyone. If you enjoy far-fetched stories with totally ridiculous events, this is for you! I must be too stable for Ms. Bender.
My first question was, "What school system hires a 20-yr old without a teaching certificate to teach math to 2nd graders?"
And the HUGE questions was, "Who in hell brings an AXE into a classroom and hangs it on the wall?!?!?" Oh, the weirdness goes on and on.
I finished the book, only because she hooked me into wanting to know what happened to Mr. Jones. And the ending was too neatly wrapped up. So overall I would say I liked her writing style but story was too weird.

Favorite line: Through the trees, a tiny albino eyebrow of moon waxed high and far on the blue.
