The Living School, Tal’s second book about the North Branch School, will be released in Spring of 2019 by Green Writers Press.

The Living School sketches an utterly unique entity: an independent and virtual one-room middle school in the Green Mountains of Vermont. The Living School takes a deep look into an intimate, wild, and unpredictable year of learning, in and out of the classroom, with a diverse collection of funny, profound, troubled, and hopeful adolescents.”
