A very big idea. \u003cbr\u003e It all started when Hart Evans zinged a rubber band that hit Mr. Meinert, the chorus director. Actually, it started before that, when Mr. Meinert learned he was out of a job because the town budget couldn't afford music and art teachers. Mr. Meinert got so mad at Hart that he told the sixth graders he'd had it -- they could produce the big holiday concert on their own. Or not. It was all up to them. \u003cbr\u003e What happens when a teacher steps aside and lets the kids run the show? Not what Mr. Meinert would have predicted. And not what Hart Evans would have guessed, not at all. \u003cbr\u003e Out of chaos, infighting, compromise, idealism, and finally, a fragile peace, the sixth grade choral concert was born. And they called it Winterhope. \u003cbr\u003e But would it be the last holiday concert of them all?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Atheneum Books for Young Readers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780689845161\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 166\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.62lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.48h x 5.80w x 0.67d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Volunteer State Book Awards - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Virginia Readers Choice Award - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Great Stone Face Book Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e North Carolina Children's Book Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Charlie May Simon Children's Book Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Louisiana Young Readers' Choice Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Garden State Children's Book Awards - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Nevada Young Readers' Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Massachusetts Children's Book Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e William Allen White Childens Book Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Young Hoosier Book Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Rhode Island Children's Book Awards - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/15\/2004 pg. 403\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/11\/2004 pg. 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2004 pg. 159\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Review - Children\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2004 pg. 1048\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHorn Book Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2004 pg. 657\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooksense '76 Childrens Wtr 04\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2004 pg. 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2005 pg. 71 - Superior,Well Above Average\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e82274 \/ Last Holiday Concert\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.4 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 4\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Andrew Clements","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43112021557429,"sku":"9780689845161","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_a7f2550b-92d8-470d-a96c-ecde13ae9298.jpg?v=1693926997","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-last-holiday-concert-9780689845161","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
