Kiana accidentally ends up in the class everyone calls The Unteachables. each student in the class is deemed a loss cause, even their burned out teacher feels the same, at first that is. But as the class gets to know each other and their teacher gets to know them, both begin to change. it was kind of hard for me to believe that no one ever noticed (including her parents) that Kiana was in the wrong class and that no one had helped Parker with his reading problem before. I did like Elaine (rhymes with pain) and all of the stories that swirled around her, rumors can get so blown out of proportion. Also liked the inside look at the school administration. Powerful stuff can happen there. Liked it but not as well as some of Korman’s other books.
