three and the possible link to ADD/ADHD did not take many considerations into
account. The author of the study even admits that he cannot conclude that

Reviews on Books For Teenagers
I Would If I Could
A Teenagers Guide to ADHD/Hyperactivity
by Michael Gordon, PhD
Wow, finally a book all about me. If the name had been Derek, I would have thought someone just sat around a watched me for a few days and then wrote everything down. When you have ADHD, sometimes you just think you are the only person that feels this frustrated and hyper. You don't think that anyone else could possibly understand. But, after reading this book, I know that there are many other kids out there feeling just like me.
I think this book is great and would recommend it to all the other kids out there with ADHD.

Zipper
The Kid With ADHD
by Caroline Janover
This book is about a 12 year old that has ADHD, he has trouble remembering things and gets into trouble alot. His parents finally find out that he has ADHD and look for ways to help him. He finds a friend that begins to teach him music and by bringing out his creativity he learns to focus some of his energy.
This was a good book. It helped me find out that there were other kids out there that did the same things as me and got into trouble alot for things they didn't mean to do or say.
I would recommend this book to other kids that are just finding out about ADHD. In the end Zipper learns alot and I think it shows that kids, without medicine can succeed and find other ways to help themselves.
