Book Description: RECESS IS NOT FOREVER is a humorous and touching tale of an unspoiled and innocent child's delightful first year in school. In his new world he meets and makes many new friends, he enjoys many rewarding learning experiences, and he is perplexed by hard to understand alien people -- girls! The bleak setting of The Great Depression in the Southwest does not mar nor spoil the adventures and antics of the first graders. The reader will readily identify with the young students time and again.
