Ricardo Bogéa _icardo_ogea — Although the concept of parallel worlds is very much an element of science fiction, Through to You has a very contemporary genre feel. Emily Hainsworth's Through to You is a novel about love, loss, grief... and the choices we make if we could be given a second chance. Camden has never been the same ever since his girlfriend, Viv, died in a car accident several months ago. She was always by his side after an injury ended his dreams of playing football as a career, but now he feels empty and lifeless without her. And worse still, he can't shake the guilt and pain that the lethal accident was all his fault. When he stumbles into a parallel world, he meets a very much alive Viv, but she's not quite the same person he loved and lost. Nina is a very sweet girl, and I felt so bad for her when Camden tried to brush her aside in favour of seeing Viv. She may not voice it aloud, but you can tell in her actions just how much it affected her to see Camden even though he had idea who she even was. Camden has always maintained a perfect image of Viv in his memory, but seeing a different version of Viv makes him realize she had her faults too. The window between the parallel worlds is closing, and time is running out for Camden to make a choice: to be with Viv again or finally let her go. I thought it was refreshing to read a male perspective about losing a loved one. Camden is such a great guy under the surface, but he's also broken and needs time to heal. I was incredibly worried how seeing Viv again would hurt him emotionally. I was also curious about the thoughts running though Nina's mind, but I think if the novel had been told from her point of view, Through to You wouldn't have been the same reading experience. The ending is rather bittersweet, but it also made perfect sense to me. I really don't think I can imagine it concluding any other way. Emily Hainsworth's Through to You is a remarkable debut I won't soon forget. I'm looking forward to reading Hainsworth's next YA novel!

Kelly Magill kellygirlvideo — ere are some interesting thoughts from Margaret Paynich, a long-standing contributor to this blog, about Jay Mathews' KIPP book: Work hard mural "I picked up Jay Mathews' book, "Work Hard. Be Nice." and decided to read it without knowing what it was about. Mathews tells a great story about Mike Feinberg and Dave Levin starting the Knowledge is Power Program (KIPP) in Houston, Texas, fresh out of Teach for America training in Los Angeles. I was easily enamored with Feinberg and Levin's passion for their students, their drive to make KIPP work no matter the obstacles, and the astonishing success and growth of KIPP. "Mathews makes the claim that KIPP schools are the best model of raising students to new heights of achievement by doing the most to overcome poverty, apathy, and racial and class bias. While there are critics of KIPP and critics of Mathews' claim, the one message I took from the book that I hope will receive critical thinking - how do we ensure that our public schools can take the most advantage of the groundbreaking ideas educators are discovering? "What I will remember most about the book is how hard it was for Feinberg and Levin to find support in their Houston and New York City school systems for KIPP. The should be a system for embracing successful strategies in our public schools. I think part of the problem is that our school systems are largely out of date and were designed for educating students from hundreds of years ago. "Now we have a school structure that is not designed to have each child succeed to the best of his or her ability - yet we claim it does. These structures have made it difficult for administrators to focus on much more than what they need to do to keep their own jobs - which may not include helping teachers or students reach their own potential. "I believe that the public needs to demand a solution from their legislators. Education professionals have been doing the best they can - but I don't think they can do it alone anymore. I understand that legislation is part of the problem - legislation that is passed without proper attention to those who have to carry it out - but those policies can be reversed through legislation. "This summer I am piloting a project in Warwick, RI in which I intend to explain to the citizens of Warwick how the complicated education system works and what his or her public role is in ensuring the best possible education we can provide. I will be walking door-to-door this summer introducing individuals to the school committee, showing them afterschool and mentoring programs they can volunteer for, and hoping to inspire individuals to take a better responsibility for their role as citizens."
