I can't believe the hardcover edition is out of print! This is one of the best books I've read to help the self-esteem of children with ADHD or LD or any other kind of learning problem. It doesn't dumb down the criteria. It shows the child being the hero of the story using some of his natural abilities. It also shows some of the techniques he develops for learning. It is a wonderful story for any child with or without a disability. (Quote from a reader)
