I particularly liked the beginning when everyone is introduced. It is clear that care was taken to provide a careful and full portrayal.

I did not like how restorative justice was approached and there is a section about the use of restorative justice in a school setting, but I don't think the connection was there to the crime in this book. I think I would have like a more balanced approach to restorative justice because while I do believe it can be powerful and useful, I think it is important to confront the reasons some are hesitant. I wish an example of the use of restorative justice with the criminal system was used (I wonder if that example was not available)
