By N. Buckle
Format:Paperback
Following on from his debut 'One', Attention Deficit is another absorbing book from Nigel Pickard.
The book expertly tracks the parallel experiences of a middle-aged man struggling with familiar mid-life challenges, in an interesting and readable style, and of a young, disadvantaged, semi-literate teenager. Both attend the same school as pupil and teacher but live with a very different experience and perspective on the world.
Well worth reading.
