Forget the nerdy reputation that debate has. Instead think of a scenario as exciting as a sports game with high stakes like triumphing over racism. bad politics and abject poverty... An important, thoughtful and provocative look at race and class in America.
- The Boston Globe
Joe Miller's enthusiasm is infectious and the plot creates the suspense of a good courtroom thriller.
- Entertainment Weekly
The minute I finished Joe Miller's Cross-X, I held the book out in front of me -- amazed, rapturous, and hopeful... Miller's mesmerizing, vivid accounts of the debates will leave you crouched in your seat, holding your breath... An incredibly powerful, daringly hopeful book.
- Minneapolis Star-Tribune
Irresistible... Miller begins breezily but is soon deeply invested in the Central squad's mission to not only master the debate game on its own terms but revolutionize it with flashes of poetry and hip-hop wordplay... If all these kids could run things, Miller implies, imagine what could get done.

Hi Joe,
I am a KCK native writing a book about Coach John Wooden. We spoke a few years ago and I was hoping to catch up by email. The last address I have for you doesn't work. Can you email me: mike_harrity@yahoo.com. Thanks! Mike
Very nice! This talk of politics and work is all fine and good, but I was really missing your garden pictures. What did Allie use on the window? We have new neighbors and could possibly use a little more privacy.
She used window paints, purchased at a hobby store.
That window looks like it will be beautiful... I may have to do something similar.
