A good, realistic story

This story is very fast paced, just like the narrator's life. In the beginning, Zipper doesn't have a clue he has ADHD, and so gets in trouble for behavior such as forgetting to show up at a baseball game and impulsively saying mean things to his best friend at school. Later on, he starts to channel his energies more constructively, such as by helping out at a nursing home and learning to play the drums. Once he gets treated, you see him progress from being kind of a jerk to being a more likeable kid. Everybody who knows a kid with ADHD should read this, especially teachers!
