Customer Reviews

Interesting real life event of rural Wisconsin boy.

I was Jamie's teacher when he wrote this book. I thought interested readers may want to know what Jamie is doing today. I met his mom in May, l999 and she reported that Jamie is farming. He is married and has two children who will attend the same school district that Jamie attended. Jamie's stepfather died a few years ago. When the book was first published, Jamie and I heard from students and teachers all over the United States. It was a fun time for everyone involved. Thanks for your attention to these comments.
