I was dissapointed in this book. I found that the author excuses behavior that even can't be defended with a boy suffering ADHD. Although I can see where a child suffereing from ADHD would enjoy reading this book, I'd think twice before recomending it.

Good book for kids to help them understand someone with ADHD.
