Whoa!

By Dr. Sherry L. Meinberg

Leap into the real-life ups and downs of an inner-city school. Things can get a little crazy there. A new kid arrived in a third-grade class, where the group is learning about cowboys. What could go wrong? It turns out that the whole school population ends up in a collective mood for a rip-roaring fight. Yee-haw!

Dr. Sherry L. Meinberg

Dr. Meinberg spent 50 years as an educator, half in inner-city schools. Many of her experiences would curl your hair, and many aren’t even believed! She has written 18 books, so far, and has been honored with over 100 awards. Oddly, adult fans like to talk about her children’s books—The Cockroach Invasion and A Squirm of Worms—saying how fun they were, and how much they learned. Then they would end up asking, “Did the incidents really happen?” The answer for all three of these books, is an emphatic, “YES!”
