The Retreat of the Ten Thousand

"A page-turning meditation on what it means to be gifted&#160;&mdash; and how far parents will go to prove&#160;it."&mdash;NPR"[A] timely and relevant read for the summer." &ndash;Oprahmag.com"Holsinger&rsquo;s sharp observation, knack for dialogue, acerbic social commentary and droll descriptive gifts all add up to a heady brew. As the adults scheme intently and their beleaguered children act out their frustrations, The Gifted School becomes a sharp, skeptical primer on how things stand in 2010s America where everyone is desperate to get their slice of an ever-shrinking economic pie."&mdash;The Boston Globe"A surprisingly hopeful novel. There&rsquo;s a sweetness to its resolution, a satisfying possibility that no&#160;matter what monsters we parents are at times, we can still graduate to something better."&mdash;Ron Charles, The Washington Post &#160;"Holsinger renders his helicopter moms and soccer dads so precisely that one understands their motivations, even feels their longing and pride. . . [The Gifted School] exposes how easily a mix of good intentions, self-delusions, and minor sins can escalate into the kind of skullduggery that might&#160;prompt an F.B.I. sting."&mdash;The New Yorker"Clever and au courant. . . top of the syllabus for book clubs."&mdash;People "Wise and addictive...&#160;The Gifted School&#160;is the juiciest novel I've read in ages... a suspenseful, laugh-out-loud page-turner and an incisive inspection of privilege, race and class. . . .The book goes down as easy as a gin and tonic on a summer day, but the takeaway is damning. In their quest to give their offspring the best, these parents have committed, as one member of the group realizes too late, 'a collective crime against childhood.."&mdash;J. Courtney Sullivan in&#160;The New York Times"A thoughtful, engaging examination of a subject torn from the headlines: how parents succumb to a kind of temporary insanity as they jockey for position, status, and prestige&mdash;for their children and for themselves. Recommended for parents and for fans of literary fiction."&mdash;Library Journal &#160;"Reading this is way more fun than taking a standardized test, trust me."&mdash;Popsugar "The Gifted School is not only a book to add to your list this summer for pure entertainment, but because it skewers the intense, high-stakes culture of parenting prevalent in so many suburbs and in the upper echelons." &ndash; Real Simple &#160; "Like&#160;Big Little Lies&#160;with   standardized testing, this addictive novel digs hard into the culture of   striving parents and anxious children, exploring privilege, competition and   the elusiveness of happiness. A deeply pleasurable read." - Meg Wolitzer, New York Times-bestselling   author&#160;of The Female Persuasion"Bright, and expertly observed." &ndash;   Town & Country &#160;"A (hilariously) timely book explores   the lengths to which privileged parents will go to get their kids a top   education."&mdash;New York Post &#160;"Reminiscent   of Liane Moriarty&rsquo;s Big Little Lies, The Gifted School is a   story of trouble in paradise with timely commentary on hyper-parenting and   the lengths to which parents will go to ensure that their kids remain   &lsquo;exceptional.&rdquo; &ndash; BookPage  &#160; "An     insular epic that questions the notion of meritocracy, the hypocrisy of     white liberalism, and the politics that trickle from the adult world down     to their children." &ndash;The Paris Review "Addictive, whip-smart, acutely observed and sharply funny,&#160;The     Gifted School trains its lens on a community where a talented child is     a social commodity and asks how far some families might be willing to go in     pursuit of status. A delicious read." &ndash; Gilly Macmillan,&#160;New     York Times-bestselling author of&#160;What She Knew "I LOVED THIS NOVEL. Pitch perfect, razor sharp, compulsively readable     and rich with delicious detail, this darkly funny satire combines the     gimlet-eyed world view of Jonathan Franzen with the propulsive narration of     Liane Moriarty. I can&rsquo;t remember the last time I&rsquo;ve enjoyed a novel as     much."&mdash;&#160;Christina Baker Kline,&#160;#1&#160;New York     Times-bestselling author&#160; "[Holsinger&rsquo;s] subject of parents charging past every ethical restraint     in pursuit of cr&egrave;me de la cr&egrave;me education could not be more timely, and     the&#160;Big Little Liestreatment creates a deliciously repulsive     and eerily current page-turner."&mdash; Kirkus, starred review"Sharply entertaining&hellip;This depiction of     the depths to which some parents will stoop to win social advantage for     their offspring makes for a smart, piercing novel, and timely given recent     headlines." &mdash;Publishers Weekly, Starred Review "I was blown away by&#160;The Gifted School. A smart,     insightful, and engrossing story about how the prospect of getting their     children into a school for the gifted causes a group of competitive parents     to comport themselves in the most unseemly and ultimately destructive ways.     Snapping with tension, this is a book for our times. It will push a lot of     buttons for a lot of people."&#160;&mdash; Shari Lapena,&#160;New York     Times-bestselling author of&#160;The Couple Next Door
