Author Description

His real name is Walter, but everybody calls him Iceman. He's quiet and moody, and all his teachers have given up on him. But Mr. Berlin sees a lot of potential in Iceman. He thinks the troubled young sixth grader is smarter than he's letting on. How will the wise old teacher reacher his reluctant pupil? By making up their own rules. A tale of identity, coming of age, and common sense education, Richard Isenberg's THE PACT is a moving lesson for us all.
