This is one of my family's all time favorite books. We have read it many times; and in fact, just finished rereading it as a family read aloud where Becca, at age 14, almost begged her sisters to choose it. It is that good. The story is about a group of six schoolchildren who want to bring the storks back to their small village in Holland. Their efforts unite the whole town, healing old wounds and broken spirits. Exciting, warm, tense, hopeful and heartwarming are all words I would use to describe The Wheel on the School. This is one of those rare stories that celebrates the human spirit, leaving you sure that with love and care we can make the world a better place.
