Summary of The Art of Miss Chew Summary of The Art of Miss Chew Reviews for The Art of Miss Chew An Excerpt from The Art of Miss Chew
After spending the summer with her artist grandmother, Trisha knows she wants to be an artist, too. She's thrilled when her sketches get her into Miss Chew's special art class at the high school. A substitute teacher tells her she's wasting time on art when she should be studying - but fortunately, this is one battle that Miss Chew and Trisha are up for!

This true story shows just how important a teacher can be in a child's life - and celebrates the power of art itself.

"Polacco's inspiring story will touch children and teachers alike." - Booklist for The Junkyard Wonders

"Celebrates the extraordinary influence a teacher can have on her students." - School Library Journal for The Junkyard Wonders
