When the people of Toberly Bay, Newfoundland, first saw a blue Saab with B.C. plates and two city people in it driving down their main street, they didn't know what to make of it.The "city people", Don and Jan Sawyer, likewise knew nothing about Newfoundland, or Newfoundlanders. But there they were, ready to take up teaching positions in a remote Newfoundland outport community. In Tomorrow is School Don Sawyer shares his memories of the people of the outport, especially his imaginative, sometimes outspoken, students. It is the story of a dedicated young teacher who sparks an enthusiastic response from young people, tapping their creativity. Best of all, it's a vivid account of a part of Canada unknown to most Canadians.Tomorrow is School is a humorous, touching account of people of two very different cultures coming into contact, and of what each learns from the other.

The isolated Newfoundland outport where Don and Jan Sawyer land their first teaching jobs is a village strapped by poverty and rocked by social change. The local high school is, in a word, terrible. Hoberly Cove is a place and a people Don Sawyer knows nothing about... but he soon learns. And in the process he learns a lot about teaching. 
This is a superbly written, true and moving story, full of warmth and respect, which most educators and would-be teachers will find completely absorbing. It will encourage you, and at times astound you. 
Mike Rose, professor at UCLAs graduate school of education (and author of Lives on the Boundary and Possible Lives) says: "I am so glad this classic book is back in print; Ive been recommending it for years."

Yet they have one thing in common -- tragedies have shattered their families. To bury their hurt, they run fast and relentlessly. A chance accident on the trails brings the two boys together, and an unlikely friendship grows. Joined by Annie, another loner who has secrets of her own, they form a threesome that runs like the wind in the hills above their town. But a disastrous attempt by Paul to join the school's cross country squad and an explosive encounter with their star runner turns the alliance upside down. Overcoming their anger and loneliness, the three find a way to become a team again -- and hatch an outrageous plot along the way!
