UP THE DOWN STAIRCASE

Bel Kaufmann

published in 1964

Prentice-Hall      

Genre: Fiction, Drama

An instant bestseller when it was first published in 1964, Up the Down Staircase remains as poignant, devastating, laugh-out-loud funny, and relevant today as ever. It timelessly depicts a beleaguered public school system redeemed by teachers who love to teach and students who long to be recognized.
