Wayside School/Heartwarming

""Just because I love Mister Jewls, it doesn't mean I can't also love you. Love is different from most things." She picked up a piece of chalk. "If I gave my piece of chalk to someone, then I wouldn't have it anymore. But when I give my love to someone, I end up with more love than I started with. The more love you give away, the more you have left.""
 * The most powerful was probably the end of Gets a Little Stranger.
 * Then there was the event that led up to this moment:
 * The end of the "Love and a Dead Rat" chapter in Falling Down, in which Dameon, whose crush on Mrs. Jewls was no secret, overcomes his teasing classmates and confesses his love to Mrs. Jewls despite knowing there is a Mr. Jewls. Mrs. Jewls tells Dameon she loves him too and it's okay even though she is married.


 * Benjamin Nushmutt spends most of the second books thinking that the other students only like him because they think his name is Mark Miller and worried that they'll turn on him when they learn the truth. When he finally does reveal his real name, they don't care and accept him wholeheartedly. As somebody who has felt like Benjamin, that scene tugs at the heartstrings.
