Review:

A must-read for teenage boys and adult males and for people who work with and care about boys and men. Particularly powerful are the book s six true case studies. My own work with bullies and those who are bullied confirms the truth of what Dr. Slocumb is saying - namely that U.S. parents and educators have much work to do helping boys grow into men who can act with integrity, civility, and compassion. --Barbara Coloroso, Author of The Bully, the Bullied, and the Bystander

Dr. Slocumb creates a riveting portrait of the emotional abyss that engulfs many of our male children. --Jeanne H. Purcell, Ph.D., Consultant, Connecticut State Department of Education

I am honored to recommend this heartfelt book --Michael Gurian, Author of The Wonder of Boys
