In a lifetime of teaching, I've met a lot of kids with some variation of ADHD, but there was one kid in the group who was the most I have ever seen. He must have been brilliant to boot since academically he had it all under control. Thankfully he was away after lunch, or I would have left! <br />I'll be looking forward to reading this.

It ...Thank you for your thorough review of Focused. It seems tamer and more relatable than other books I've read about teens with ADHD. And, I especially like that Clea's sister has a speech problem. There are so few books that address that topic, especially if it is stuttering. It is important kids see themselves in stories. Sounds like a hopeful book to read!Patricia T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10673204828383998897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22559214.post-68766077862393178722019-03-18T16:17:52.132-04:002019-03-18T16:17:52.132-04:00I don't think I've ever read a book that f...I don't think I've ever read a book that features chess. This might have to be added to the bucket list right now. I am going to put in a request to my library.

I can think of Scar Island off-hand, but not much else comes to mind. Two of my children have struggled with speech and, just like everyone else, it's helpful to see that representation in their reading choices. Thanks for sharing this title, I'm heading to look it up now!2Shaye ♪♫https://www.blogger.com/profile/10473467039770299975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22559214.post-88170950055073522292019-03-18T11:05:35.723-04:002019-03-18T11:05:35.723-04:00I've been searching for a book like this for a...I've been searching for a book like this for a student.
