As the fair celebrates another successful year of bringing together the brightest minds in publishing, Citi of Books proudly joins the festivities at the 77th Frankfurter Buchmesse, showcasing inspiring titles from its talented authors. Among the featured works in the Book Gallery is “The Bright Wise Solution” by Tony Seton — a clever, story-driven take on school reform that blends entertainment with inspiration.
Tony Seton is an accomplished journalist, author, publisher, and communications consultant whose career spans broadcasting, writing, and politics. A former ABC TV journalist, he covered Watergate, multiple elections, and space missions, produced Barbara Walters’ interviews, and earned national awards for his business reporting. He has conducted over 2,600 interviews, written more than 2,300 essays, and produced two award-winning PBS documentaries. Through SetonPublishing.com, he has edited and published over 60 books for himself and others. Also a screenwriter, political consultant to figures like Nancy Pelosi, and educator, Tony brings a lifetime of media and real-world experience to his work—as well as a passion for flying and photography.
What if school wasn’t just about memorizing facts and passing tests? What if it actually prepared us to live better lives—to understand ourselves, think critically, and make the world a little wiser? That’s the big idea behind Tony Seton’s “The Bright Wise Solution.”
Yes, you read that right—it’s a novel about education reform. Seton knew no one wanted another dry, academic lecture about what’s wrong with schools. So instead, he wrote a story filled with sharp journalists, a few very smart kids, an angry (and not-so-smart) antagonist, and even a dramatic gunshot or two. There’s humor, heart, and a trip to Vietnam that hits deep. And through it all, you’ll find ideas about how we can truly make learning exciting again.
Seton makes you think about your own school days—those few teachers who actually made a difference. You probably remember them, right? The ones who sparked curiosity, made you believe in yourself, or opened your eyes to something bigger. Now imagine if every teacher had been like that. That’s the dream at the center of The Bright Wise Solution: a world where schools nurture potential, not just performance.
It’s smart, surprising, and full of heart—a story that proves learning doesn’t have to be boring. Seton’s message is simple but powerful: with the right vision and passion, education can be the key to a brighter, wiser world.
