The Freedom Writers Diary by Erin GruwellMy rating: 2 of 5 stars
Hats off to Ms. Gruwell. She knows how to motivate change. She knows how to care. That said, I struggled reading this book. Though the writing was cathartic and even life-changing for the students, it was a difficult read for me. I think it was because there was no continuity. The Diary entries are just numbered, so the reader doesn’t get to know the writer and watch his/her growth throughout the four years. Though I honor these kids for their courage and tenacity and especially honor their teacher for motivating the change, it was a difficult read for me.
