If I Tell You, Will I Feel Less Scared?
"The book may well be the first to get inside a special education class. It is written without academic analysis, and apparently without pre-conceptions about the boys. It is also an astonishingly accurate documentary about the structures of a disturbed child's thought." - ct the reporter
"A genuine and valuable point of view is presented here in a simple and direct way. The result is a moving and courageous testimony of a difficult learning environment." - Books in Canada
"The events of the book take place in a special class within a public school system, and they are recounted by means of the children's own logs of their moods, and their daily perceptions, together with their drawings. Sass himself selected and edited the children's text. It is moving, clear and direct, and has a remarkable impact. Mr. Sass's own comments are made in the same manner, and this makes the book refreshingly free of jargon. It is an excellent book for teachers and others who deal with the troubled child and his or her school and family. I wish there were more teachers who see as well through children's eyes as does Mr. Sass. Finally, the excellent make-up of the volume renders it still more attractive. It is in the best taste and delightfully appropriate to the text." - The American Journal of Art Therapy
"The experience of reading this book is truly moving and filled with a sense of sharing the intimate frustrations and agonies of children who seem so worthy of love, respect, and a sense of belonging but are so deprived of these qualities in life."
- Book Reviews / Revue De Livre
"An enormous insight into the real world of troubled children can be obtained by reading If I Tell You, Will I Feel Less Scared?" - The ATA Magazine
Redcoat
"Redcoat is a gutsy little book. In a frantic quick-hyphen march, the reader follows 13-year-old Shadrack Byfield from his poor miller's home to the workhouses of Newcastle, into the army, and on to a troop ship bound for colonial service. Under General Brock, Byfield descends into the crucible of war, deserts the army picks up with a rebel Indian band and is captured by his former regiment from who he learns the humiliation meaning of what it is to wear a redcoat." - The Globe and Mail
"Redcoat is a young man novel, somewhat reminiscent of Cue For Treason by Geoffrey Trease." - Cm Archive
