It will probably find as many among the jaded lit-elite to dismiss it as platitudinous and banal: Perhaps it's not for them. It's for those who are energized by the very sight of the words truth, kindness and responsibility among the inspirational words that emblazon the endpapers; for those who are looking for the sorts of mission statements that may forge disparate students into a cohesive cohort of kids; for those who need a school/class, team or family motto. Is it pure poetry? No. Is there an occasional awkward turn of phrase? Yes. There's even (gasp!) a split infinitive. But these maxims, accompanied by Gorton's lively, crisp, colorful digital cartoon illustrations and dynamic typeface selections have undeniable appeal - and they are homey, honest and blessedly brief.
