Rezensionen

'...should not be missed by anyone who works with children as a teacher, parent, or social worker.' - Michael Payne, The Sunbury Item

'A marvelous hard-driving book that digs deep and rips away a lot of bunk and pretense ... it has the power of a moral and sophisticated manifesto.' - Jonathan Kozol
