520    "An unforgettable year in the life of a visionary high 
       school science teacher and his award-winning students, as 
       they try to get into college, land a date for the prom, 
       and possibly change the world. Andy Bramante left his 
       successful career as a corporate scientist to teach public
       high school--and now helms one of the most remarkable 
       classrooms in America.  Bramante's unconventional class at
       Connecticut's prestigious yet diverse Greenwich High 
       School has no curriculum, tests, textbooks, or lectures, 
       and is equal parts elite research lab, student counseling 
       office, and teenage hangout spot. United by a passion to 
       learn, Mr. B.'s band of whiz kids set out every year to 
       conquer the brutally competitive science fair circuit. 
       They have won the top prize at the Google Science Fair, 
       made discoveries that eluded scientists three times their 
       age, and been invited to the Nobel Prize ceremony in 
       Stockholm. A former Emmy-winning producer for CBS News, 
       Heather Won Tesoriero embeds in this dynamic class to 
       bring Andy and his gifted, all-too-human kids to life--
       including William, a prodigy so driven that he's trying to
       invent diagnostics for artery blockage and Alzheimer's 
       (but can't quite figure out how to order a bagel); Ethan, 
       who essentially outgrows high school in his junior year 
       and founds his own company to commercialize a discovery he
       made in the class; Sophia, a Lyme disease patient whose 
       ambitious work is dedicated to curing her own debilitating
       ailment; Romano, a football player who hangs up his helmet
       to pursue his secret science expertise and develop a 
       "smart" liquid bandage; and Olivia, whose invention of a 
       fast test for Ebola brought her science fair fame and an 
       appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.  We 
       experience the thrill of discovery, the heartbreak of 
       failed endeavors, and perhaps the ultimate high: a yes 
       from Harvard. Moving, funny, and utterly engrossing, The 
       Class is a superb account of hard work and high spirits, a
       stirring tribute to how essential science is in our 
       schools and our lives, and a heartfelt testament to the 
       power of a great teacher to help kids realize their 
       unlimited potential"--|cProvided by publisher.
