The setting is a funeral for Mr. Wizardo, a former guidance counselor/part-time English teacher who passed away with a legacy that affected four students enough to travel home for his funeral. The character of Mr. Wizardo is woven into a wonderful personality that marked the lives of four former students. The former students' intertwined stories are unique, spellbinding, and remind me of my high school days. The author displays excellent character-building skills that allow the reader to feel as if they know each character.
The story is short and sweet, with practical lessons and parables for the reader. The story was heartfelt and written from the point of a true professional educator. As an experienced teacher, I know I have always wanted to leave my mark on my students. I love her witty sayings and heartfelt story, making the book hard to put down.
The story starts with a funeral but ends with his life as a celebration, a legacy for a professional. When the day is done, and we have influenced others, that is a blessed thing. Good job, and I give this book five stars.
