Like the Lion's Tooth, the second novel by Marjorie Kellogg, was first published in 1972. It is the story of dislocated, abused and abandoned children who come together at a school for "problem children" not far from New York City. In that meeting, with the help of each other and well-intentioned if at times misguided staff, they learn ways to cope with a world that is anything but kind to them.

Reception

[edit]

The book received reviews from publications including Kirkus Reviews, Publishers Weekly and The New York Times.[1][2]

Kirkus Reviews said that the novel was "neither as arresting nor as original nor as touchingly lacerating as" Kellogg's first book, Tell Me That You Love Me, Junie Moon.[1]
