This timely monograph asks us to look beyond the prioritizing of childhood in contemporary culture and to see the negative consequences of privatizing families, islanding childhood, [and] worshiping children individually but obscuring them as a political interest group (177). Honeyman skewers many contemporary beliefs about, and aspirations for, children. Her direct language is neatly balanced by scholarly rigor and thorough archival research.--Michelle J. Smith Children's Literature, Volume 48, 2020
