This Business Of Children Book Review

This Business Of Children by Chloe JonPaul

About The Book:

Vera Harriss, Deidre Fletcher, Mark Pettingill, and Stu Martel are elementary school teachers in the fictional town of Blevins, Maine whose secret, private lives change dramatically as you read. Vera, who is about to retire, vents her anger during a Board of Education meeting with a speech that brings the audience to its feet. Why does Deidre, an exceptional teacher, leave the job she loves to become a corporate trainer down South? Then there is Mark, the perennial job hunter looking for a corporate position with more prestige and pay but then turns down the perfect offer when it finally comes through. Stu, one of the most popular teachers in the school, struggles with a deep, dark secret that he can only share with Deidre. What causes Stu's untimely death? Vera Harriss, Dee Fletcher, Mark Pettingill, and Stu Martel are eager to share their intriguing secrets and entangled lives with you. 

My Thoughts:

This is quite an interesting read. I was riveted from the beginning. I am obviously not a teacher, but this story brings you into the life of one, and helps you to understand what their jobs and lives are really like. I could not put this book down, as I was so invested in the characters and just had to know what happened to them and where their journeys take them! The story flows so well and the conversation is real. Though this book is fiction, I think that every teacher and school board member should be required to read this!
