Review by: Miss Lucy
Self-described by the author as narrative nonfiction blended with a
reader-friendly how-to guide, this book is amazing. I could hardly put it down
- something I usually don't experience with nonfiction. Smitty is the guidance
counselor from Heaven... he's everything we thought a guidance counselor would
be, before we got to high school and realized we were dreaming. This book
chronicles Smitty's final year as guidance counselor, with his high school
senior class of 2008. Follow along as he works his magic with a select handful
of students, as he advises, cajoles, and gently steers each student to be the
best he or she can be, and as he seems to know just which colleges each should
pursue.
If you are a rising high school senior, or a parent of one, you will
love this book right now.
