Review #436: Developing Minds: An American Ghost Story by Jonathan LaPoma



My rating: 5 of 5 stars


“They inspire you, they entertain you, and you end up learning a ton even when you don't know it”

----Nicholas Sparks



Jonathan LaPoma, an award winning American author, has penned an heart-wrenching and a thoroughly enlightening story about two teachers in his book, Developing Minds: An American Ghost Story that unfolds the story of two twenty-something men trying their luck in the department of teaching in Miami but their journey to educate young minds turns out to be extremely challenging as sex, drugs and alcohol become their escape. But why would two teachers want to escape the world of teaching and education? What is the challenge that is making them stay back?
