About This Audiobook

In 'Cleverlands', Lucy Crehan takes listeners on a journey to uncover the secrets behind some of the world's top-performing education systems. As a frustrated teacher in an inner-city school, Crehan was fed up with ineffective government policies claiming to be based on lessons from these countries. She embarked on a five-year adventure to explore and understand the differences between these systems and ours. The result is a nuanced and insightful exploration of what makes these schools tick. Crehan's passion and expertise shine through in her writing, making 'Cleverlands' a compelling listen for anyone interested in education and social change.

The audiobook is expertly narrated by Emily Blad, who brings Crehan's voice to life with warmth and authority. Blad's pacing is spot-on, perfectly capturing the ebb and flow of Crehan's ideas and stories.

Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

As an audiobook editor, I was blown away by Emily Blad's narration in 'Cleverlands'. She has a gift for conveying Crehan's emotions and ideas with precision and warmth. However, I did find the pacing to slow down slightly in the middle section, where Crehan delves into the specifics of policy documents and bureaucratic processes. While this information is essential to the book's argument, it can be dry listening at times. Despite this minor quibble, I thoroughly enjoyed 'Cleverlands'. Crehan's stories of her time in top-performing education systems are both inspiring and instructive, and Blad's narration brings them to life in a way that's both engaging and thought-provoking. Whether you're a teacher, a policy wonk, or simply someone interested in education and social change, 'Cleverlands' is a must-listen.
