Seven Days of Possibilities: One Teacher, 24 Kids and the Music that Changed Their Lives Forever, by Anemona Hartocollis is the (true) story (I don’t read much non-fiction, thought I’d mention that this one is) of Johanna Grussner. She’s a singer from Aland — an island off the coast of Finland and Sweden — who moved to America to go to school and ended up teaching music at PS 86 in the Bronx. The title gives the book high expectations, but it’s not that pretentious. I liked it — it was an interesting story of how one person can affect the lives of many, especially if she has the will and the means — but the writing style bugged me. It’s not exactly something I can put my finger on; I just didn’t like the way Hartocollis put the story on paper. It’s a decent story though.
