    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    John McPhee’s “The Headmaster: Frank L. Boyden of Deerfield” really was amazing and only made better by Edoardo Ballerini’s narration. This book gave me a deep dive into the life of an amazing educator who made a huge impact beyond just his school. Reading about Boyden’s journey, his wisdom, and how he shaped countless students’ lives felt like stepping into a whole other world. McPhee’s storytelling had me feeling like I was right there with Boyden, facing his challenges and celebrating his successes. This book isn’t just a biography; it’s a reminder of how one person’s dedication can leave a lasting legacy. If you’re looking for a story that’s inspiring and real, “The Headmaster” is it.
