      From the reviews of Election:

      ‘Election provides those gratifyingly exact and telling portraits of the kids themselves. Solid plotting guarantees that the reader really does want to learn who wins when the ballots are finally counted’

       New York Times

      ‘A neatly written, nimble-witted novel. A good-natured, John Irvingesque portrait of the contemporary world … Seamless storytelling’

       Washington Post

       for my brother and sister

      “The teacher is engaged, not simply in the training of individuals, but in the formation of the proper social life. I believe that every teacher should recognize the dignity of his calling; that he is a social servant set apart for the maintenance of the proper social order and the securing of the right social growth.”

      —JOHN DEWEY

      “The world is the School gone mad.”

      —WILLIAM TREVOR
