"In this wonderful engagement with the ways young people are immersed and engaged in the world, Louise Holt brings together research, ideas and musings about schools and schooling at a time when those institutions, spaces and practices are under siege. With an ironic focus on the futurity of young people she wonders why they are side-lined and ignored when they have so much to say and do. Louise’s passion is to transform what is broken in our world by giving young people more consideration and care, more agency and power. The book is meant as an emotional and social challenge, and yet throughout there is a sense of joy and hope. Young people can change the world and our job as older people is to let them."
