In recent years, society here in the U.
has been bombarded not only with news about the horrible conditions of our nation's schools, but also about the behaviors of so many of their students.
Drug use, violence, and suicide have dominated the headlines.
This book offers an alternative, yet realistic look at America's schools -- one that also offers hope in the fact that there are (still) a lot of wonder-filled kids out there.
And though many of our young people continue to face life tests beyond those in the classroom, there are still many cases of triumph over the challenges that life throws at them every day.
There are STILL lots of great kids out there.
