Just how far will parents go to give their offspring an advantage for a spot in a prestigious school? Plans for a new school for gifted students raise the stakes for a close-knit group of parents jockeying for a place for their kids. The increasingly toxic competition impacts their relationships with each other and their kids in this page-turning story. Bruce Holsinger's "The Gifted School" is our October selection for "Bookmarked: The Under the Radar Book Club."
Guest:
Bruce Holsinger - academic and literary scholar, professor of English at the University of Virginia and author of "The Gifted School," which is available for purchase now.
