Description
Focused, By Alyson Gerber is a novel about self-acceptance, love and trust. Clea, a 7th grader, is happy to be on the chess team, but if she can’t keep her grades up, she can’t play. No matter how long she studies or how hard she tries her grades continue to slip.
Her parents and friends get frustrated when she forgets to do things she says she will do, and Clea feels critical of herself when she lets people down. Her parents want her to see a doctor in case she has ADHD, but Clea isn’t sure what that will mean, or whether there’s any way she’ll be able to compete at chess. Clea learns to accept her ADHD and develop the necessary coping skills to succeed in school and in life.
