Synopsis
A lively, enchanting story that wonderfully captures the daily ups and downs of being a child with attention deficit disorder through the adventures of Paige, a bright young girl whose inability to stay focused threatens to spoil her best efforts to win a school contest.
Welcome to the world of Paige Bradley, a bright, mischievous fourth-grader with a big goal and a small problem. She desperately wants to meet her idol, Dr. Kelsey Strongheart, or at least the actress who plays her. And she has a chance to do it only one thing stands in the way: Paige herself. The winner of a school essay contest will win a meeting with Dr. Strongheart, and Paige knows she can write a winning essay like nobody else if she could just focus her attention on her essay instead of following her runaway imagination into daydreams that threaten to wreck her chances of winning the contest. Can Paige overcome her ADD in time to create a winning entry and achieve her goal? Find out in the pages of First Star I See. Central Recovery Press has updated this lovely book with the latest ADD/ADHD information and enhanced it with sparkling original artwork especially created for this new edition.
