It took two tries to really get going on Party Crashing, simply because I read novels much more than nonfiction books (like most English teachers I know.) Then Keli Goff's voice started speaking right to me and I starting marking text and making personal connections.
I was so taken with her that I read all of her acknowledgments. That paid off on page 257 in the paragraph before the end. She gives a lovely tribute to her high school English teacher. It's great encouragement to all teachers who care enough to push students to do their best.
I predict this will be one of our most energetic meetings, right up there with The Thirteenth Tale.
