教師的葬禮 The Teacher s Funeral

內(nèi)容概要

"If your teacher has to die, August isn't a bad time of year for  it," begins Richard Peck's latest novel, a book full of his signature wit and  sass. Russell Culver is fifteen in 1904, and he's raring to leave his tiny  Indiana farm town for the endless sky of the Dakotas. To him, school has been  nothing but a chain holding him back from his dreams. Maybe now that his teacher  has passed on, they'll shut the school down entirely and leave him free to  roam.   No such luck. Russell has a particularly eventful season of schooling ahead of  him, led by a teacher he never could have predicted--perhaps the only teacher  equipped to control the likes of him: his sister Tansy. Despite stolen supplies,  a privy fire, and more than any classroom's share of snakes, Tansy will manage  to keep that school alive and maybe, just maybe, set her brother on a new, wiser  course.   As he did in A Long Way from Chicago and A Year Down Yonder, Richard Peck  creates a whole world of folksy, one-of-a-kind characters here--the enviable and  the laughable, the adorably meek and the deliciously terrifying. There will be  no forgetting Russell, Tansy, and all the rest who populate this hilarious,  shrewd, and thoroughly enchanting novel.
