NO for black-eyed susan. 
 NO for our library. 
 I loved the concept of telling a story through letters, but this one just didn't do the trick. They were too many things I just couldn't buy into... 
 ...a handful of students corresponding regularly to their substitute via letters 
 ...a teacher who couldn't catch on the "BEEs" are a state assessment the school is preparing for 
 ...a couple of middle schoolers so caught up in their feelings for one another that they would write to a teacher they don't know for advice 
 ...a substitute teacher who could get away with doing *nothing* with her class for weeks on end, all approved by the county's department of education 
 Oh well.
