Marcella is struggling now that she's a sixth grader in middle school. She can't seem to manage all her different periods and assignments and sometimes even tunes out her friends. Marcelle becomes increasingly hard on herself as she tries to figure out how to remember everything that is coming at her, and she is not certain how to tell her two dads or her friends what she is going through.
This is such a great way to build empathy for ADHD and how it doesn't have to define you. Reading this will help build empathy for those who have ADHD, and allow those who do to see themselves more clearly. The author wasn't diagnosed until college, but struggled through middle school with so many ideas in his head. Fast and insightful read! Marcella is white, but her friends are a mix of races.
