Format:Paperback
This book is good, and has a lot of interesting material including plenty of writing directly by gifted kids. Overall though, the length, style and content of this book are more suited to older teens (yes, even gifted ones), and there is one chunk on choosing a college in the US system which take some translating for those of us on this side of the pond. I would love to see a version of this book for 9-13 year olds.

Robert's Mom
15 Oct 2000
Format:Paperback
My son was thrilled to receive this book. He immediately began to see himself described in every chapter. He has always felt different and out of sync with his peers. This book helped him to understand himself and feel good about his "gift".

Excellent Book
11 July 2001
Format:Paperback
This was truly an excellent book for any teen who is gifted. I've been gifted since I was very young and I've never fit in with any of the other kids. I've always been much more mature and on a much higher level than the rest of the kids my age. This book showed me that I should be proud about being gifted, and shouldn't worry about fitting in. This is a must read for any gifted teen.

Enlightening
25 Nov 1999
Format:Paperback
This book makes you feel good about being "gifted" - you know you aren't the only one around in that situation. A lot of nice examples, and it's very uplifting. Too bad it couldn't cover overseas examples though.
