  <default_description>&lt;p&gt;Tracy Kidder -- the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of &lt;i&gt;The Soul of a New Machine&lt;/i&gt; and the extraordinary national bestseller &lt;i&gt;House&lt;/i&gt; -- spent nine months in Mrs. Zajac's fifth-grade classroom in the depressed &quot;Flats&quot; of Holyoke, Massachusetts. For an entire year he lived among twenty schoolchildren and their indomitable, compassionate teacher -- sharings their joys, their catastrophes, and their small but essential triumphs. As a result, he has written a revealing, remarkably poignant account of education in America . . . and his most memorable, emotionally charged, and important book to date.&lt;/p&gt;</default_description>
