The Essential 55 by Ron Clark
Now in paperback, Ron Clark's New York Times bestseller that's changing America one child at a time The runaway bestseller that's a must-have for every parent and teacher. How many authors would travel coast to coast on a bus to get their book into as many hands as possible? Not many. But that's just what Ron Clark, author of The Essential 55, did to keep his book and message in the public eye. And it worked. After his Oprah appearance, sales skyrocketed: we've sold more than 850,000 copies in six months The book sat tenaciously on the New York Times bestseller list for 11 weeks. Ron Clark was featured on the Today show, and in the Chicago Tribune, Good Housekeeping, and the New York Daily News--not to mention the calls we've received from teachers and parents who want to get their hands on Ron's guidelines for teaching children. Now in paperback, The Essential 55 will be the perfect book for parents and teachers to slip into their own backpacks, to read on the train or at lunch, and to highlight the sections that resonate for them. And with an author who is truly a partner in getting his message to the masses, we just can't lose.
Ron Clark was born in Liverpool and lives in Bootle, Merseyside, with his second wife Ann. He has two daughters, two step-daughters and a stepson. He has spent most of his life working in the automotive industry, having run his own small business for most of the time. His loves are football, fishing and music when his business allows. He attends the gym regularly, marching past the various weights and machines in order to put the world to rights with his friends in his beloved sauna. A few years ago he teamed up with some old friends to form a group in which he played the bass guitar, and when this ended in August 2015, he decided to use his spare creative time to write this, his one and only book.
