John Ellis, in The Bonville Search, takes the topic—school
superintendent/school board relations—and makes it interesting.
In this novel of a town’s search for a new superintendent, Ellis
captures the conflicts and the humanity involved in public
education, and tells you why it all matters. It is an entertaining
and informative read.—Paul Houston, Exec. Director,
