In this moving collection of more than fifty true stories, teachers and students alike reveal the life-changing moments taking place in classrooms all over the world, transforming - and sometimes saving - young lives. Good teachers can make all the difference-and Teacher Miracles celebrates this special and often dramatic role teachers play in all our lives. Brian Thornton is a writer and middle-school teacher.
