Holds Forecast: THE SMARTEST KIDS IN THE WORLD
Holds are outpacing the number of copies in libraries for Amanda Ripley’s critique of American education, The Smartest Kids in the World (S&S), but that’s not saying much, since library ordering was minimal. Holds may rise now that it is featured on the cover of this week’s NYT Book Review, and is called a “masterly book [that] can also generate the will to make changes.”
This issue also features a “Back to School Children’s Books” section.
