From School Library Journal:

Grade 9 Up—In spite of the tongue-in-cheek title, this book seriously addresses the issue of ADHD, covering a variety of topics including symptoms, diagnosis, causes, and treatment options. All of the information is presented in a straightforward manner; the author provides a historical perspective as well as material that is hot off the research presses, boiled down and delivered in a way that can be read and understood by older teens. The final chapter presents short profiles of a few people who have lived successfully with ADHD. Black-and-white photographs, charts, and attractive headings break up the text, keeping readers interested and attentive. The glossary, resource list, and source notes add to the substance offered here, making this title useful not only for personal edification, but also for research.—Wendy Smith-D'Arezzo, Loyola College, Baltimore, MD
