In this dazzling debut, Carla Shalaby, a former elementary school teacher, explores the everyday lives of four young “troublemakers,” challenging the ways we identify and understand so-called problem children.

“Riveting, luminous, and terrifying, this little book gives us the tools, the vision, and the confidence to free our children to change the world.” — Robin D.G. Kelley, author of Freedom Dreams

Carla Shalaby is a former elementary school teacher who has studied at the Rutgers and Harvard graduate schools of education and directed elementary education programs at Brown University and Wellesley College.
