Yo, Miss – A Graphic Look at High School takes the reader inside Wildcat Academy, a second chance high school in New York City where all the students are considered at-risk. Through strong and revealing black and white images, the book tells the story of eight students who are trying to get that ticket to the middle class – a high school diploma. Whether they succeed or not has as much to do with what happens outside the classroom as in, and the value of perseverance is matched by the power of a second chance. It is a story that shows these teens in all their beauty, intelligence, suffering, humor, and humanity (and also when they are really pains in the behind.) A view from the trenches of public education, Yo, Miss challenges preconceptions about who these kids are, and what is needed to help them graduate.

Haworth's is a Lancashire story - its scene laid in the great ironworks, whose owner, Jem Haworth, is a hero of the book. Young Murdoch, the American of the story, will dispute with this strongly-marked, rough-hewn manufacturer the chief place in the reader's interest. In Rachel French appears a type of woman's character which Mrs. Burnett has not given us before, and which shows a new side of her peculiarly dramatic power.
