A quick read from a noted expert on gifted education . . . its focused on project-based inquiry for kids. I found the tips for talking to your kids to help them define and refine their interests and learning styles helpful. Getting this from the library was worth it just for the collection of "in print" and "on line" mentor ideas - great collection of web resources for everything from cell biology to Ancient Rome.

My only issue with the book is the focus on career/jobs. Sometimes, we have special gifts that may not be expressed through our careers but rather through a hobby...
