Merle's Door: Lessons from a Freethinking dog, by Ted Kerasote. Called the "best book" ever written about dogs. I agree. The author reminds that a dog door is the best dog trainer for a bored, restless dog.

An American GULAG, Secret P.O.W. Camps for Teens. By Alexia Parks. I won a Teen Hero award for this book. It describes an underworld of secret, parent-funded, "snakepit schools" for unruly teens. When parents wrote to ask me: "What do you do with an out-of-control teen?" I suggested that parents learn how to mentor their own children. This resulted in a series of books on parent-mentoring, including 10 Golden Rules That Guide Loving Families ... and a national mentor training program for parents and for schools.
