  Educating Esmé - Algonquin Books   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Esmé Raji Codell has come to teach--and she's not going to let incompetent administrators, abusive parents, gang members, weary teachers, dim-witted principals, angry children, or her own insecurities get in the way.
Esmé is fresh mouthed yet compassionate; she can be both pigheaded and generous, cynical and charming.
Esmé wears costumes in the classroom, dances with the kids during rallies in the auditorium, puts on rousing performances with at-risk kids in the library.

 FOR ESME-WITH LOVE AND SQUALOR
When Esme finds out that the narrator is a writer, she asks if he would write a story for her and suggests that he make it extremely squalid and moving." When she leaves, Esme asks if he would like her to write to him.
Esme herself is trying to be less "cold" and training herself to be "more compassionate," as she tells the narrator in the tearoom, but her gift demonstrates that she alone is capable of pure and unselfish love.
There, the narrator is confronted by Esme's little brother, in ingenuous Charles (who asks question such as, "Why do people in films kiss sideways?"), and Esme, whose poise and vocabulary are in sharp contrast to her innocence and ignorance ("when I'm thirty, I shall retire and live on a ranch in Ohio").
