This is the continuing story of Doreen, a middle schooler with ADHD who loves to doodle. She is trying to adjust to her new school, liking boys, and some upheaval between her parents. She is having some trouble with her school work.
I found this book to be almost unreadable –small print, font and formatting so varied that it gave me a headache. I think it might even be a bit to cluttered for students. I feel like I may have caught ADHD from this book! Seriously, there is one real reason why I won’t recommend this for a school library –Doreen write’s a paper about kiddie porn –and she also calls it kitty porn. I just can’t cross that bridge with an angry parent.

I felt the same way about the formatting. My reluctant readers are not going to read print this small.
