Salvete!
Today…. we have a review of a book I liked. Thereโs really nothing else to it ๐
๐spoiler free!๐
๐Age Group: Juvenile๐
Summary (Libbyโs):
Everyone knows there are different kind of teachers. The boring ones, the mean ones, the ones who try too hard, the ones who stopped trying a long time ago. The ones youโll never remember, and the ones youโll never forget.
Ms. Bixby is none of these. Sheโs the sort of teacher who makes you feel like school is actually worthwhile. Who recognizes something in you that sometimes you donโt even see in yourself. Who you never want to disappoint. What Ms. Bixby is, is one of a kind.
Topher, Brand, and Steve know this better than anyone. And so when Ms. Bixby unexpectedly announces she wonโt be able to finish the school year, they come up with a risky planโmore of a quest, reallyโto give Ms. Bixby the last day she deserves.
Rating: ๐๐๐๐๐ out of 5
Review
แตข แตฃโโโโy โโแตฅโd โโแตขโ bโโโ โก
The dual point of views (three of โem!) were wonderful with telling the story and weaving it together.
The characters themselves were exciting to follow and find out about, even with the book being a more โslice-of-lifeโ sort of genre, and not a fantasy.
I really loved the insight to why exactly the trio were so determined to give Ms. Bixby that perfect last day. (because of Brand and some hotdogs ๐)
It really pained me to see… ahem… someone do something. (No spoilers ๐)
This book is honestly so relatable somehow, even though the characters are completely and obviously fictional.
And I loved all the extra bits, like the โMichelleโsโ cakery (I made that word up ๐) being owned by Eduardo.
To quote Topher, โThe details matter,โ and the author doesnโt leave us hanging! John David Anderson is an excellent author, and I โจdare sayโจ that this is one of his best books. (Thought my favorite is definitely Sidekicked ๐)
I thought it was funny how Topher and Steve were longtime friends, and then Brand just appeared, like hi, I exsist. ๐
*cough cough* Topher and Steve are so cute together *cough cough*

๐ถSongs that go with this book โข OKAY: Tokyo Machine, Bud Like You: AJR, Banjo Beat (Pt. 1): Ricky Desktop, Itโs Time: Imagine Dragons๐ต
10/10 recommend!!
Sounding official is hard ๐
Hope I convinced you to read this book ๐
ฮฯ ฯฮฟฮฏ!
PS: should I do a โKotLC group chatโ post?โ I want to, but Iโm not sure if โจthe peopleโจ would like that
Looks like a cool book, and this was a super fun review!! (;
Yeah, sure- a KotLC group chat post sounds nice!! I think you should do it.

I’d never heard of Ms. Bixby’s last day before so thanks for sharing about it. I love books that are relatable – and this one seems like it would be. My best friends from school were always my teachers because my disability would sometimes scare certain students away from me. I still email my teachers all the time and talk with them so I know what it’s like to have a really supportive teacher that you don’t want to let go. Also, I really like books from multiple different perspectives too [three sounds awesome!]
