Hi Gordon,

My son Jason had to read Schooled in middle school around 2011. I read it with him at that time. You wove that plot, those characters and themes together masterfully. I laughed, I cried, I couldn't wait to see how it turned out.

Years later I pulled it out and loved it all over again, even though I knew where it was heading. I'm 69 years old and when I retired a year and a half ago, it was one of the first books I read, again, in retirement.

I've bought copies for several people and recommended it to other adults. Thank you for the amazing skill and effort you put into crafting Schooled. I'd put it in the top 5 of books I've read in my life (and I've already read 70 other books already just in retirement).

take care,

Denny
