By the end of this school year, your teacher knows you and your classmates pretty well. She or he could write a book about what this year's been like!

(Now there's a good reason to behave!)

For our annual summer reading issue, we yakked with three teachers who turned time in the classroom into inspiration for their careers as writers for young readers.

Happy Summer Reading!
