This fascinating novel explores a world rarely revealed: a public school classroom for middle-school students with “diverse disabilities” ranging from blindness to severe retardation. Lou, their caring teacher, goes the extra mile for “his kids,” and in doing so helps the rest of the school learn that every student deserves respect and a chance to learn. Meanwhile, Lou’s personal life takes a strange turn when he begins an unconventional affair with a fellow teacher. Beautifully written, uproariously funny and extremely moving.
