right on target

Shreve did a great job in demonstrating the way a child with ADD makes poor choices. As the mother of three grown ADD children, I can only wish this book had been written sooner. The storyline is very accurate, and I believe it might serve as an awakening, of sorts, to kids who have been diagnosed with ADD. They will certainly be able to see themselves in the characters of Ben and Trout. And it should be encouraging to parents to at least give medication a try.
