The Unteachables Hardcover – January 8, 2019

Great book with a great message! We are all capable of surprising others! My third grader loved it and didn’t want me to stop reading. I recommend this for anyone looking for an inspiring read aloud.

My favorite part was getting the viewpoint of each character. Even the bad guys. I think any student can see a little bit of themselves in someone at Greenwich Middle School.

Great book for reluctant readers.

I loved this book it was so unique and Catchy it had so much depth and a great story highly recommend for anybody with good taste and if you don’t have good taste then this book will give you that too😃😃😃

Like most of Korman's books, this has a good mix of humor and educational perseverance.A group of students whom the school gave up on years ago, are placed with a teacher who's counting down the days to his early retirement after a cheating fiasco killed hos career and dreams over a decade ago. With the help of an old enemy and an overly enthusiastic fellow teacher, maybe the class and their teacher aren't as hopeless as everyone, including themselves, expect them to be.I liked that each kid in the class, plus the teacher, had their own chapters to present the story from their own perspectives. Sometimes, that ruins a book for me - switching between people just when I connected to them. It wasn't so jostling here. The story flowed nicely, and because the plot focused mostly on their class and school instead of closeups of their personal lives, it didn't matter so much when a different kid picked up the narrative.It was a good uplifting story about the power of self belief and perseverance.

The media could not be loaded.  My son really enjoyed this book. He read it in one day. I totally recommend for 10 years old.

Very good book

I read this to my 10-year-old daughter before bed, and even after she fell asleep, I couldn’t stop reading it. I absolutely loved the story and the message.A caring and nurturing adult can make a difference in a child’s life just by showing they care about them. This story does a great job reflecting that message. I’ll probably read it again since I finished it while my daughter was asleep. :)

Got this as a gift for my 10 year old son. He’s really enjoying it

The summer after Grade 7 I went on a week long Girl Guide camping trip. We had an eight hour bus trip to get there and my leader instructed each girl to pack one book and then we could trade books if we needed something else to read. With such a long bus trip up, I think I read the book I packed and one other before we'd arrived at our destination. I borrowed a Gordon Korman book from another girl, The Zucchini Wars, and I was HOOKED on his books. Looking at Goodreads now, this is the fifth book in the MacDonald Hall series -- but the adventures of Bruno and Boots were laugh out loud funny and I enjoyed every instalment.I was browsing on Edelweiss one evening and noticed The Unteachables and downloaded it without even reading the synopsis because I had such fond memories of his writing. On the plane ride home from Disneyland, my brain was so exhausted from our trip that I wasn't able to focus on Kingdom of Ash, so I decided to give this book a shot. From the first chapter, I was hooked on the story and I finished the book that day, exhaustion and all. Then I promptly ordered a copy for my husband after he expressed an interest in reading it and reminisced about hearing Gordon speak at a writing workshop when he was in middle school. Plus, it's about a teacher and teaching, so I know he's going to like it!The story centres around Mr. Kermit, a teacher who has one year of teaching left before he qualifies for early retirement, who is given the toughest class to teach, The Unteachables. Each chapters switches the point of view between the children in the class, Mr. Kermit, and other characters. Like most middle grade, the story is an absolute delight to read and had me grinning, laughing, sitting on the edge of my seat and racing through the pages, eager to find out how the story would wrap itself up. I highly, highly recommend this one if you enjoy middle grade, or even if you're not an avid middle grade reader. It has a cast of absolutely delightful characters and the story will keep you hooked right up until the final page.Note: An egalley was provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
