After all, he wasn't the smartest kid there ever was, and even his school - Monty Middle - tried to hide him, with 11 other \"nobodies,\" in Room 211 in the back of the school in a special \"Drop Out Prevention\" D.O.P. class.\u003cbr\u003eBut then \"miracles\" begin to happen the day Mr. Martin, a charismatic African-American writer turned teacher, walks into his class. He's a teacher like no other, who helps Marvin, along with pals Markus, Quinesha, Roberto, Luis, Danielle, and others from the culturally-diverse class believe in themselves, and together they create miracles.\u003cbr\u003eDo you believe in miracles? You will, after reading Miracle at Monty Middle School.\u003cp\u003ePerfect for middle and high school classrooms: \"My students and I really enjoyed Miracle at Monty Middle School. It is an inspiring book taking a bunch of kids who think they are nobodies and turning them into kids who believed in themselves.\" Sheila Berry, Middle School Language Arts Teacher, West Palm Beach, Florida\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"This is what we live and relate to every day, Mon. through Fri. The book takes you through the reality of being a middle school teacher. Unless you've been there, you wouldn't really know what goes on behind closed doors. It's a great book. I think students would enjoy reading this book instead of the textbooks we have now.\" Anna Sterling, Middle School Language Arts Teacher, West Palm Beach, Florida\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AuthorHouse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47044169761008,"sku":"9781420839708","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781420839708_p0.jpg?v=1763729509","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781420839708","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
