Him Bowen,
Thanks for posting. I’m glad THE UNTEACHABLES went over so well with you.
Your comment: that’s the good part about being the author — the details can turn out the way you want them! The class couldn’t win the science fair after setting fire to half the neighborhood. Mr. Kermit’s job was safe because of the miracle he pulled off with the Unteachables — plus the Superintendant did him dirt, I think. And sure Kiana could stay in Room 117, because it had turned out to be the best classroom in the whole school!
As you can tell, it was fun to write, too. —–Gordon Korman—–
