Bill's Reviews > Stupid

Say you're a teen, and you try really hard in school, but you can't concentrate, you try to read and the words dance around, your writing looks like you just learned how to write - your dad calls you lazy and stupid, makes you take Ritalin for what he and the doc thinks is wrong, but that doesn't help.

Not until you meet this kid, Stick, into parkour or free running, shoot a movie of Stick and his friends - an incredible flick - and listen to what he says parkour's all about and suggests you try it to overcome your problems after someone says your film is the best description of dyslexia she's ever seen - that you begin to change, do better in school, and at last convince your parents, especially your dad, that you are one talented guy with a problem you now can work at with a little help...

This has the non stop read of a thriller - a book everyone should read - and great for all kids too - so all can better understand a problem many deal with in their lives.
