Dr. Swengel's Plainston Chronicles reads like an epic novel as his characters tell their stories in either letters written to each other or journal entries or editor's notes. Thus is the reader propelled through the narratives, following the trials and tribulations of the very real characters. The book makes one want to immediately start such a school as Dr. Swengel envisions, as such a school addresses the whole child, not just "book larnin'." When children, at an early age, learn to care about and for their fellow students, this caring attitude carries through their life. Such a school is interactive with its community and impacts it in a very positive way. The effects ripple out even beyond the immediate community and could ultimately affect governments and the way nations are run. Hope springs anew that the world could indeed become a better place!

A modern American city where people don't drive cars, where there is no mayor, where no one is hungry, where medical care is available for all, where most people worship at the Temple in the center of the city, where kids attend year-round schools which don't have grade levels or even grades—a city that lies closed off behind an encircling wall with a moat, no less. What is really going on behind that wall? Why are there “cells” of Plainston citizens living in major cities all across the country? Why are they getting involved with a new third political party? Karl “Kiki” Kornhauer, a well-known political analyst and writer, has been invited into the city “to live Plainston” in order to find the answers. Have Plainstans discovered a way to solve most modern urban problems, or is there something sinister going on behind that wall, as other columnists have charged—most notably, Wilber Bickersley? What is the “conspiracy” that so many refer to both inside and outside the wall?
