In the previous book, The Year of Miss Agnes, it's 1948 and a new
teacher comes to teach in the tiny Athabascan village on the
Koyukuk River in Alaska. Ten-year-old Fred tells why Miss Agnes is
the best teacher they've ever had in their one-room school, and
different in every way. ln the sequel, Miss Agnes and the Ginger
Tom, their wonderful teacher is back. And she's brought a cat, the
first they've ever seen. But how long will she stay? Miss Agnes has
arranged for her extraordinarily gifted student, Jimmy Sam, to go
away to a college prep school "outside." If he can pass the test.
Miss Agnes starts Jimmy on a rigorous program of study for the test
and Fred and the others learn right along with him. The whole
village is part of Miss Agnes' school. She's brought boxes of books
and soon everyone in town is reading something from the school
bookshelves. And she's brought a movie projector so the village
people can see movies for the first time. The village's anxiety
increases as the school year goes on, waiting for Jimmy's test.
Grandma says it's hutlaanee, bad luck, to talk about the test, but
they can't help it. If Jimmy doesn't pass it he will have to leave
school next year to do a man's work with his father and brother,
all his dreams of being a scientist come to nothing.
