Title: LOADS of problems
Review: In this book, Marianthe (blithely called Mari by her teacher who can't bother to learn to pronounce her name), is "foreign." From where? Who knows. What language does she speak? Who knows. To what culture does she belong? Who knows. She's a generic stand-in. Her teacher doesn't bother in any way to try to teach her any English, yet she magically learns it just by hearing it. Just as one (sadly of many) examples, Mr. Petrie, the teacher, makes comments about Marianthe, informing the class that maybe someday Marianthe can tell her story "in words," as if she has no words herself. This is not the book to use.
