    What a book!

    I found this book to be very enlightening and wonderful. Romano uses his past experiences to look to the future and encourages teachers to be brave, letting them take unchartered ground. The reader is able to learn about the author as well as his students, which I felt was important because I can see that as a teacher he knows that all writers are different and each one has to be treated as an individual. I would strongly recommend this book as a learning tool and inspriation.
