Dr. Annise Mabry’s *Educational Disobedience* is an inspiring and straightforward story that grabbed my attention from the very first page. It’s about a mom who, faced with a failing school system, took matters into her own hands to ensure her children’s success. Dr. Mabry’s frustration with the bullying and lack of support her kids faced is evident, but so is her unwavering determination. She didn’t just choose homeschooling—she reinvented it, creating a survival-focused approach that allowed her kids to thrive in ways traditional schools couldn’t.

What truly makes this book stand out is how Dr. Mabry turned her personal journey into something much larger. With her background as a teacher and university dean, she not only helped her own family but also started a foundation to support other families facing similar struggles. Her writing is relatable, passionate, and filled with practical advice, including valuable homeschooling resources at the end. If you’re a parent seeking solutions or simply curious about homeschooling, I highly recommend this book. It’s a powerful reminder of how a parent’s determination can transform lives—and inspire change far beyond their own home.

Many thanks to NetGalley, the publisher, and the author for providing me with an advance copy to read!
