Product Information

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - The twentieth anniversary edition of the classic story of an incredible group of students and the teacher who inspired them, featuring updates on the students' lives, new journal entries, and an introduction by Erin Gruwell Now a public television documentary, Freedom Writers: Stories from the Heart In 1994, an idealistic first-year teacher in Long Beach, California, named Erin Gruwell confronted a room of "unteachable, at-risk" students. She had intercepted a note with an ugly racial caricature and angrily declared that this was precisely the sort of thing that led to the Holocaust. She was met by uncomprehending looks--none of her students had heard of one of the defining moments of the twentieth century. So she rebooted her entire curriculum, using treasured books such as Anne Frank's diary as her guide to combat intolerance and misunderstanding. Her students began recording their thoughts and feelings in their own diaries, eventually dubbing themselves the "Freedom Writers." Consisting of powerful entries from the students' diaries and narrative text by Erin Gruwell, The Freedom Writers Diary is an unforgettable story of how hard work, courage, and determination changed the lives of a teacher and her students. In the two decades since its original publication, the book has sold more than one million copies and inspired a major motion picture Freedom Writers . And now, with this twentieth-anniversary edition, readers are brought up to date on the lives of the Freedom Writers, as they blend indispensable takes on social issues with uplifting stories of attending college--and watch their own children follow in their footsteps. The Freedom Writers Diary remains a vital read for anyone who believes in second chances.

    Informative; great learning experience.

    Having watched the movie "The Freedom Writers" several times, I was very interested in reading the journals of the teacher and the students. Very compelling. Great read.

    The Freedom Writers Diary by Erin Gruwell

    I bought the book because I saw the movie with my granddaughter. It was such an inspirational book about the burning desire for a teacher to reach her students who had the survival odds stacked against them. In the past years, with the changing of times, and laws as well, we have lost many wonderful teachers because the "system" has literally tied the hands of our teachers. I love this story of this teacher who is undaunted in her pursuit of teaching these young people acceptance of one another and helping them to realize that while we are different on the outside, our lives are really not all that different. We all go through trials, we all lose loved ones, we just literally all put our pants on one leg at a time, but if we stop looking at each other on the outside and look ...

    WILDFIRE OF HOPE, INSPIRATION, AND CHANGE FOR GOOD RAGES OUT OF CONTROL!!!

    We are all living in the midst of a war zone of some sort, some from outside influences, some of our own making. In THE FREEDOM WRITERS DIARY, "MS.G." is that candle of hope that starts a flame, and that flame starts a blaze in youth from gang-ravaged east Long Beach CA who see NO HOPE in their future. THE FREEDOM WRITERS unleashed the blaze in their hearts that started a wildfire of inspiration, tolerance and change for good that is unquenchable! They learned that a Jewish teen in hiding from the hatred and persecution of Hitler's minions fifty years before, a teen from Sarajevo whose childhood was ripped away by the Bosnian war of intolerance and hatred in the early 1990s, and aged Holocaust survivors living for decades with the memories of unimaginable atrocities were the same ...

    Every teacher should have a copy

    I loved this book. I've been teaching English for six years now, and I moved last year from my best job to my worst. When I saw the movie, I knew I had to have the book. Teachers need all the inspiration they can get. The book goes much further into how the class, as a whole, accomplished the things they did. The movie really made it seem as though Ms.Gruwell did everything, and that bothered me. Within the book, it's obvious that she inspired the students, and they took it from there. The format is easy to read, and the prose flows well. Reading this book is a great way to spend a rainy weekend afternoon.

    A great read.

    In most cases, I find books are more worth reading, than a movie about the book. However, in this instance, my daughter brought home the DVD for us to watch first. I was so inspired by Mrs G and what her students had done! It gave me hope that the world could change...with the work of people who really care about the children. I bought the book and read more indepth and interesting things that took place in the classrom. The movie was good...but the book was wonderful.
