edit data

Jaer Armstead-Jones has been a middle school English teacher in the St. Louis area since 2007 (known as Mr. Jarrod Jones). He earned a bachelor’s degree in media communications from Webster University in Webster Groves, Missouri, and a master’s degree in secondary education from the University of Phoenix.

Throughout his teaching of reading and writing, he has always had a burning desire to write books for middle grade and high school teens that they can relate to, find enjoyment in, and books that are alluring to keep them in a state of suspense. My Invisible Father is his first novel. He has also written for a local St. Louis newspaper as a reporter/writer covering stories from politics, to sports and education, to business.

I attempted to read this book twice before, about a year and a half ago. Each time, I struggled to get past the second chapter because the story simply wasn’t resonating with me. Fast-forward to now, when I ended up reading the first book in the seri ...more

This book has been in my Classroom Library for probably five or six years, and I kept telling myself I would pick it up one day and read it. I started once, but for whatever reason, I only read a page or so. It's not that I didn't think I'd like it. ...more

I've read a handful of Mitch Albom's books, and I'm still having a hard time deciding which one is my favorite—there are simply too many great ones to choose from. That said, "Twice" is right at the top of the list. And here's the surprising part: it' ...more

I may be mistaken, but I think this is the first one-star review I’ve ever given. There were so many points where I wanted to call it quits, but I figured it was such a short book—a novella—that I might as well see it through. Unfortunately, there was ...more
