The Unteachables

By: Gordon Korman

Narrated by: Sarah Beth Goer, Oliver Wyman, Josh Hurley, Tristan Morris, Christopher Gebauer, Sean Welsh Brown, Pete Larkin, Fred Berman, Jennifer Nittoso

A hilarious new middle grade novel from beloved and best-selling author Gordon Korman about what happens when the worst class of kids in school is paired with the worst teacher - perfect for fans of Ms. Bixby’s Last Day. A good choice for summer listening or anytime!

The Unteachables are a notorious class of misfits, delinquents, and academic train wrecks. Like Aldo, with anger management issues; Parker, who can’t read; Kiana, who doesn’t even belong in the class - or any class; and Elaine (rhymes with pain). The Unteachables have been removed from the student body and isolated in room 117.

Their teacher is Mr. Zachary Kermit, the most burned-out teacher in all of Greenwich. He was once a rising star, but his career was shattered by a cheating scandal that still haunts him. After years of phoning it in, he is finally one year away from early retirement. But the superintendent has his own plans to torpedo that idea - and it involves assigning Mr. Kermit to the Unteachables.

The Unteachables never thought they’d find a teacher who had a worse attitude than they did. And Mr. Kermit never thought he would actually care about teaching again. Over the course of a school year, though, room 117 will experience mayhem, destruction - and maybe even a shot at redemption.

This middle grade novel is an excellent choice for tween listeners in grades four to six, in the classroom or for homeschooling.

Super cute story told in multiple perspectives

Beautifully narrated story of a teacher dealt an unfortunate hand and the journey to rediscover his "why." A reminder that we all have great strengths regardless of our quirks. A perfect read for students and teachers.

Delightful

There is redemption for all, potential underneath, innovation, motivation, and confirmation for any teacher. If you have the privilege of being a teacher, and you are in a slump, read this. It will turn your heart around.
