Tom Sawyer getting out of whitewashing the fence?
This is my boat. They're part of my crew. No one's getting left. Best you get used to that.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Because books.
How old are the students? She could either use Rochester persuading Jane to marry him, or from A Little Princess, the scene where Sara convinces Lottie to stop throwing a tantrum.

I think the equivalent of early high school. They're in England. As am I currently (in spirit anyway--on a conference call with Brits).

Too bad Annie Sullivan and Helen Keller aren't fiction. The spelling of the "w-a-t-e-r" scene would be perfect.

One day I will read Anne of Green Gables and A Little Princess. I love the Tom Sawyer idea. From what I know of his mum, she may too.

You've never read A Little Princess?! ::faints::
What about The Secret Garden?

Oh, I read that post. And then forgot I did. Sorry!
I think I remember one of the books you have pictured there, Christina Katerina and The Box. If not, I remember something a lot like it.

I still have that one. You know, if you ever come to visit.

I just found a blog post on it! And I DO remember it! And now I want it back desperately.
I'm also dying to get my hands on a copy of Jellybeans For Breakfast (same series of books, the Parents Magazine Press ones), but I can only ever find copies for over $100.
I will come visit! Soon(ish).
