The Mockingbird Times is an online publication about foster care and homelessness, written for and by kids who've lived through both.
In Amanda Bevington's words:
"Personally, I don’t like to read, but I enjoyed FLUX a lot because I could relate to it. It made me look at life differently. It’s interesting to read stories from other alumni that have experienced the same things that I have.
"The book is not just a book that shares a lot of different personal stories, but one that teaches young adults about real life experiences and how to deal with them in a healthy, mature way. I believe people that have experienced the foster system in some way are very curious about the topics that are in this book."

Can't imagine a better place to get kudos than the Mockingbird Times! If 'peer-reviewed' is the standard for professional publications, I think this means we've made the cut from our peers :)
