Claude’s journey
By wendy-ann Diaz
Illustrated by Angel Velazco
Claude doesn’t like school. Claude is disruptive. Claude is a teacher’s worst nightmare. Ms. Spam knows all of this, and yet, as his teacher, she believes that she can help the young man change for the better. That is, until the day when he crosses the line and she has to say enough is enough. Claude is sent to the principal’s office, but instead of the principal, he meets a stranger with powers that he does not understand or believe.
The stranger takes Claude to a world before his time, where his life is in danger, where the people he meets live in constant pain and fear, but where those same people show Claude the meaning of courage and friendship. Will Claude ever return home? Will he see his mother again? Will his new friend Jeanie survive? Once you start reading Claude’s Journey, you will not want to put it down until the very end.
