520    As an idealistic twenty-three-year-old English teacher at 
       Wilson High School in Long Beach, California. Erin Gruwell
       confronted a room of "unteachable, at-risk" students. One 
       day she intercepted a note with an ugly racial caricature,
       and angrily declared that this was precisely the sort of 
       thing that led to the Holocaust - only to be met by 
       uncomprehending looks ... With powerful entries from the 
       students' own diaries and a narrative text by [her, this 
       book] is an uplifting, unforgettable example of how hard 
       work, courage, and the spirit of determination changed the
       lives of a teacher and her students.-Back cover.
