WOW! What a great and humorous book about gifted and talented kids and teaching them! Can't say enough about this one. Anyone who needs to know about teaching GT kids will love this one! GREAT side stories of famous people. Did you know that Beatrice Potter kept a diary that she wrote in code? It took 7 years to decipher it! AWESOME!

I have read tons of books about gifted kids. This was the first one that actually gave real life examples of life for them in the classroom and explained in plain English how to teach them. It gave me major flashbacks from my youth and gave me insight into my kids' current situations. Excellent read.

Aimed at teaching GATE students, but is best practices for understanding & dealing with youth in general.
