"Washington Post" "The Checkup" blog
"It's a welcome reminder that not every kid in the world is a gifted go-getter...chock-full of suggestions...I find it refreshing to see someone focusing on all those kids who are kind of stuck in the middle, who may need a good kick in the butt to help them make more of themselves."
