“In this superb book, Rhodes has demonstrated why she is regarded as the foremost authority on youth mentoring in the U.S. and internationally. Her singularly broad and deep knowledge of the science, and her unparalleled understanding of the program and policy implications of mentoring research, are crystallized magnificently in this important and timely book. This book will quickly be seen as a classic.”
