From the Ashes by Louisa Koch

admin — Tue, 22 Jan 2019 00:38:54 +0000

CLAIRE SHEPHERD HAS ONE GOAL for her senior year: to keep herself off of Kyla's radar, the girl who has bullied her all through high school. She and her best and pretty much only friend Gary plan to keep their heads down, keep quiet, and avoid attention so they can get through their last year of high school in peace. Then enters Luke Davis, a nineteen-year-old transfer student who quickly catches everyone's attention. Not only is Luke probably the most gorgeous guy Claire has ever seen, he does something that no one has ever done for her before: stands up for her. Claire's plan to avoid attention quickly derails as she starts spending more time and getting closer to Luke. Luke seems to have it all: he's good-looking, smart, and considerate. But there is something that he is hiding, some burden of guilt that he can't seem to overcome. Will Claire be able to accept Luke's past? Can love and forgiveness overcome regret and grief?

What is it like for a child to go from a mainstream classroom into a special education class? For Mark it's a challenge, and he doesn't want to go. Mark is struggling with the idea of moving from his "big classroom" into this "little classroom." We learn that it's an emotional journey that leads Mark to resent going into his new special education class. Only after his teacher, Ms. Collins reminds Mark that he wants to do well and not disappoint his family does he decide to give the class a try. I Don't Want To Go, through its poignant narrative, brings home the point that emotions can have a strong impact on student learning. It looks at the dilemma that children face when there is a change in their lives.
