Opis

John Gunderson's debut novel takes you onto a public school bus for the ride of your life. You'll discover how teens behave when not seen by parents, teachers or any adults-except for the elderly Christian driver of "School Bus 113"-Mr. T-who sees and hears it all: from taunts, threats and brutal fights to humor and joviality. From sexual forays of hormonally charged adolescents to zany antics. The minimal support Mr. T gets from the schools, the parents and "the system" all but causes him to quit. But his late-life bride and his early-morning breakfast group of drivers-plus a few courageous riders-help him acquire the confidence he has always lacked. This provocative story about today's morals compared to the pre-1950's is an action-packed account loaded with laughs, tears, and a heart-thumping climax that elicits reflection on courage, love, forgiveness and spiritual redemption.
