(2) 4-6 Miss Pointy, the new fifth-grade teacher, has her work cut out for her, with shy Rachel, outspoken Sakiah, angry Darrell, and Sahara Jones, fifth grader for the second time. Though Miss Pointy perhaps too often has the perfect response, she is a real teacher, plagued by worries and ego and a sharp tongue. She joins the constellation of fictional inspirational teachers who serve as models for students and teachers alike.
