Phenomenal ADHD representation along with themes of divorce, family, and friendship. I found Elliot both endearing and authentic. He is self aware of both his flaws and his gifts and the journey and growth he goes through is believable and engaging for middle grade readers. It’s impossible not to root for him. This is an affirming and fun read that will mean a lot to kids with ADHD.
