“Raw. These are our kids as they really
are, not as we want them to be.”
--Desiree Gibbs, C.S.W., School Social Worker
“An awesome novel. Finely tuned with
keen insights, humor, and perspective. Permission
Slips
captures what it is like in a high school; the irony, the
frailty, the humor, the ludicrousness…the ‘shake your head’
stuff noticed by those of us who work in the system…..” --Nina Snyder, High School Counselor
“Permission Slips brings you back to adolescence
– whether you want to go there or not. Very engaging dark
humor.” --Susan McDermott, parent
“Imagine Randy Newman or the late Hunter S. Thompson as
your high school guidance counselor. This will give you some
sense of the irony, pathos, dark humor, and unblinking
compassion that Jerry Sander brings to teenage angst in
Permission Slips. If ‘Gonzo’ teenage fiction doesn’t yet
exist as a genre, Sander may just have invented it.”
--Dr. Michael Bridges, Psychologist
"My feelings went from
hysterical laughter to sheer intrigue. It was like
opening a set of inverted boxes to get to a very special gift."--
Loretta Elizalde, M.H.S., CAC-AD
