Book Review of Lockers Speak
Words from teens provide insight and wisdom
Brenda Mahler is a retired educator with 34 years’ experience. As an English teacher and administrator, she learned about the life of teens from her students as a silent observer. She values memories of the students who taught compassion, the value of overcoming challenges, and the need to compromise. Her passion for teaching grew each year as she realized the power of one person to make a difference in the lives of others. Lockers Speak allows the voices of youth to speak their truths.
Lockers Speak was published on Amazon June of 2021. So far it has mostly been read by parents and educators. Overtime, I hope it draws the attention of teens because it normalizes events that many youth are experiencing. The sharing of experiences creates a common ground allowing teens o realize they are not struggling alone. The students’ voices break down walls of isolation by exposing the challenges that confront daily life.
Reviewers on Amazon overwhelming enjoyed this book. They found it stimulating, insightful, enjoyable and informative. Their words explain why readers should make room on their bookshelves for this eye-opening expose.
