Review:

This is a whole different kind of book from the normal fiction novels I read. This book is all dialogue with a brief into explaining what the conversation is about and with whom. The Chief (teacher) has five different conversations with his students about respect, prom, working in groups, bullying. This is a great read for teens in high school, teachers, and parents. I really enjoyed the first conversation the Chief has with a group of students he is a supply teaching. The one student calls the teacher bro and then the conversation between the group gets interesting, making the students all think about respect for one another and their teachers. Everyone partakes in this conversation.

A great book on life lessons that can go further than the classroom. The author makes these topics fun and entertaining. I really enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more from this series.

I give this book a 4.5 stars out of 5.
