Description: An accessible and insightful book that is part memoir and part social commentary for parents and teachers, about children who struggle in conventional schools.
Review Quotes: "Located along the same continuum as Walter Isaacson's Steve Jobs, David Brooks' The Social Animal, and Wes Moore's The Other Wes Moore, Todd Rose's book, Square Peg, manages to weave a deeply personal and often unsettling narrative into a work that captures the complexity of human development while celebrating the triumphs of parents who allow their all too often misunderstood children to grow up to be exceptional adults. It is a must read for anyone seeking to better understand how nature, nurture, timing and chance influence who we ultimately become."--Dr. Chris Howard, President of Hampden-Sydney College
