Genius. --The New York Times Book Review

A beautiful repackage marking the twentieth anniversary of the beloved, award-winning novel that celebrates teachers and learning.

Ten-year-old Frederika (Fred for short) doesn't have much faith that the new teacher in town will last very long. After all, they never do. Most teachers who come to their one-room schoolhouse in remote Alaska leave at the first smell of fish, claiming that life there is just too hard.

But Miss Agnes is different: she doesn't get frustrated with her students, and finds new ways to teach them to read and write. She even takes a special interest in Fred's sister, Bokko, who has never come to school before because she is deaf. For the first time, Fred, Bokko, and their classmates begin to enjoy their lessons--but will Miss Agnes be like all the rest and leave as quickly as she came?
