Helpful Score: 1
Every time someone in the Daltry family turns twenty, they are given a task by their grandmother that must be completed within the year. Lee Daltry is told he will be going back to school to be the new Schoolmarm. He is not happy with this since he hated school and always felt he was dumb. Meredith Lewis is also not happy because she thought the teaching job was hers. Now Lee must convince Meredith to help him with his task, especially when he sees one of his students is having the same problems he did as a child.
I thought the first couple chapters of this book were very slow. The writing had a very simplistic feel to it...almost like I was reading a children's book. Maybe it was because the author introduced almost every character in the book it the first two chapters. It felt like a role call. But, after Lee's task is revealed and he begins his teaching job, the writing got better and the story became more interesting. I really liked Lee and his unconventional teaching style. I also liked the way he pursued Meredith and tricked her into helping him with his students. My rating: 4 Stars.
