A recent health crisis and a wealth of other challenges have lowered well-being, for many, to crisis levels. School isn't giving them all that they need, and their teachers and parents are struggling, too. But as the shadow that looms over Depthvale darkens, one class of students starts battling back. Led by Kaia, Lucas, and their teacher Ms. Monica, and with the help of their families and the Clover community, the students set out on a journey of discovery that sees them become... the Depthvale Detectives! With sights on how learning can help them contribute, the Detectives face fear mongerers, naysayers, bullies, and even a villain of their own imagination, all to keep Crisis from ruling the world.</p><p><br></p><p>Authors Joanne McEachen and Matthew Kane's years of experience leading educational change makes The Depthvale Detectives and the Great Education Crisis</em> not only a joyful and spellbinding story, but a powerful resource for leading school change.
