A revelatory investigation into how America is failing its children, and an urgent manifesto on why helping them is the best way to improve all of our lives-from the New York Times bestselling author. At the dawn of the twentieth century, a bright new age for children appeared on the horizon, with progress on ending child labor, providing public education, combating indigence, promoting wellness, and creating a juvenile justice system. But a hundred years on, the promised light has not arrived. Today, more than eleven million American children live in poverty and more than four million lack health insurance. Each year, we prosecute thousands of kids as adults, while our schools crumble. We deny young people any political power, while we fail to act on the issues that matter most to them: racism, inequality, and climate change. With unforgettable stories, law professor Adam Benforado fashions a vivid portrait of our neglect.
