Brian Morris
Like a Native: Teaching English, Living Italian
Initially, Brian isn’t happy about the job, but over time, he becomes increasingly engaged with the students. He comes up with an unexpected but brilliant way to get them to focus. It involves a mysterious statue--salvaged from the rubble of a deadly earthquake.
Meanwhile, Brian begins a friendship with Nora, an Italian teacher at the school. She seems to reciprocate his feelings, but their affection for each other is sometimes confounded by cultural misunderstandings and personal history.
Brian’s experiences in and out of the classroom will teach him about the wonders and warmth of Italy—and the surprising wisdom of middle- schoolers.
