This book provides everyone, from the uninvolved individual, to the adult ally, to the veteran youth activist, with something. This is an empowering book, both fun to read, plus loaded with information tools. I turn to this book frequently, it helps me with work, and it is a great gift for anyone!.

When I see a book about student activism and getting involved, I first check to see who wrote it. This book was co-authored by a youth-- that's what makes it special. I don't see how an adult can write, on their own, about being a student activist. Wendy Lesko walks her talk and put a great resource together.

Imagine my delight when I saw that a former student of mine co-authored a book on youth activism. I remember Emanuel as a 6th grader who was not involved in student government to feed his ego and to be part of a popularity contest, but to find a way to make a difference in his school community.

This book is the real thing - a must for all kids and the adults who work with them.

This book provides the reader with stories of real young people who are making positive change and then gives you the tools to help you too. as a teen in america, i often feel that society just thinks we're evil. wendy lesko's book reaffirms what i guess i knew inside- that we can be leaders of Today... everyone should read, and re-read this book.
