'Educational books that engage both head and heart are rare.
This is one of those exceptions: an authentic and powerful call to action, written in an accessible and utterly compelling way.
It reminds us that school failure is not a given, that there are ways to make a difference for all young people in all settings, and that education is more than test scores or grades.
Ultimately we are shaping individual futures and life chances.
For that alone, this resource should be on every educator's bookshelf' - Alma Harris, Professor University of London.
For our children, for our future: failure is never an option!
