    About this ebook

    The Classroom Alienation is a play that stars Eddie Walker, a teacher, who is currently working with a tedious education system. That is until a mysterious stranger in a trench coat named Cristo shows up in his fifth-grade classroom and interrupts his lesson plans. He claims to be a living breathing extraterrestrial that can inform him of all the right ideas for teaching the students properly, along with the help of his "friends" who seem to be nothing more than his split personalities.

    Sharon Forester

    Sharon Forester spends most of her time reading, writing or creating art. When she is not doing any of those things, she is listening to music or obsessively binge-watching animated shows and movies. She always has her head in the clouds, daydreaming of all sorts of ridiculously divine things that transport her away from the real world, and she loves moving through life that way. She lives happily somewhere on planet Earth.Check out more books at runningthegalaxies.com.

      Those Who Can, Teach By Andria Zafirakou Review: Inspiring Children And Going ‘Above And Beyond’
