Disturbing and very interesting look at public education in the USA, and the challenges ahead. Agonizing charter school lotteries and close looks at some children whose lives depend on being able to receive a decent education. Really well done.

One explanation seems necessary - the phrase "Life-Changing Fiction" is not in any way an endorsement of those books- in fact, I think those books are Awful, and want that to be clear.

Aside from being ridiculous, it just sheds light on the hypocrisy of the writer. What would Jesus copyright?
