Read an excerpt of my new book in the magazine Education Next

After seven long years of research and writing, my new book finally comes out tomorrow. Education Next published an excerpt this week, in which I describe how many public school attendance zones violate federal civil rights law:

Here’s the short video that makes the case:

Recording the audiobook for Huck & Miguel

All this week I’ve been in the studio recording the audiobook for Huck & Miguel.  Surprisingly fun.  I love Huck’s voice so much that it’s a pleasure getting into his head again.

And narrating an audiobook is a distinct craft.  I got some wonderful coaching from pros PJ Ochlan and Pat Fraley.  Such a challenge to bring the story to life for the listener.

Did you know that the leading independent audiobook production company is right here in Los Angeles?  Deyan Audio has won 5 Grammies and 25+ Audies.  These folks are pros and are going to make the book sound great.  They operate 5 recording studios out of a beautiful house in Northridge.  They were founded by engineer Bob Deyan, who died of ALS in 2014, and the company is now run by his wife Debra.

A great week with this book that I love.
