The Homework Squad's ADHD Guide to School Success - OPTIONAL

 The Homework Squad's ADHD Guide to School Success by Joshua Shifrin, illustrated by Tracy Nishimura Bishop. 129 pages. NON-FICTION/CHAPTER BOOK. Magination Press, 2021. $15. 9781433833755

BUYING ADVISORY: EL, MS -- OPTIONAL 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: LOW

Journal prompts, chapter challenges, and helpful tips and tricks begin each chapter of this handbook to how to best handle homework challenges. Short pop-up blurbs from illustrated characters share encouragement and wisdom from their own experience. 

Written specifically for students who are blessed with the challenges of ADHD, there is a lot of information on each page and in each chapter. But therein lies a potential problem: there is A LOT of information on each page! If staying focused and on task is already a challenge, reading through the vast amount of text in this book may prove to be more than many readers are up for, especially if reading this book is on top of homework they already have!
