[Jacqueline · Rating 3 out of 5]

A teacher, writing in the first person and never named, perhaps it was Louise Baker, took a teaching position in a boys school in Arizona. Her funny wry way of describing her experiences and her real affection for the eight year old "acorns" give us a light and heartfelt view of the times.
