Attention, Girls!: A Guide to Learn All about Your AD/HD
Grade 5–8—Quinn has attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and is a medical doctor; she addresses the types of AD/HD; who can help; differences between girls and boys with AD/HD; making friends; talking with adults about the condition; relaxation techniques; and medication. Her aim is to give girls a variety of ways to manage their disorders. She has created fictional AD/HD girls with various problems and situations that readers might face and then provides a variety of solutions. She suggests that her book does not need to be read in chapter order and that girls should begin with the topics of their greatest concern. The book is attractive and inviting with colorful cartoon illustrations, sidebars, and highlighted reminders. Beth Walker'sThe Girls' Guide to AD/HD(Woodbine, 2005) covers most of the same topics, but is not as visually appealing.—Elaine Lesh Morgan, Multnomah County Library, Portland, OREND--This text refers to theHardcoveredition.
