We've Got A Diem to Carpe

The misadventures of a 22-year old girl trying to survive her first year of teaching in the inner-city.

I’m thinking about making this our next class novel. I actually need to make the decision by tomorrow morning - I didn’t realize how close we were to finishing Robinson Crusoe! Any thoughts on this book and it’s appropriateness for 4th grade? Is it an enjoyable read? Thoughts?
