      About This Book

      Rachel sends her son Crispin to honors magnet elementary school. Here they meet a variety of academically and socially pushy parents and their children. During their adventures of one school year, the bias of a system that categorizes instead of teaches and accepts is exposed. Racial, economic, and intellectual bigotry are all encountered--sometimes with laughter, sometimes with tears, but always with insight.

      "Watts asks important questions about family, talents ad abilities, belonging. In an age when words like entitlement and privilege bring unnecessary impact to our lives, this is an important book, one we need to read." --Karen Salyer McElmurray
