Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 3-8-- A simple presentation that explains what ADHD is and offers ways for its victims to gain control of their lives. Short chapters, numerous black-and-white photographs and drawings, lists, wide margins, and large type will entice children to read the book from cover to cover. The authors' suggestions are practical and clearly described. Children who have ADHD will gain self-confidence from the information presented here; anyone who knows someone who has it will be encouraged and reassured. A practical purchase for public and school libraries. --Dona Weisman, Northeast Texas Library System, Garland
