Synopses & Reviews
There's a hurricane smashing, trashing, bashing through our house. CRASH! BANG! WALLOP! The doors are slamming, chairs are falling, cushions are flying, feet running, voices shouting, STOP! STOP! STOP! STOP! The hurricane is Wills, Chris’s 13-year-old brother. He has ADD. Chris says instead of Attention Deficit Disorder it stands for Acts Dumb and Daft. It’s not easy being 11 and having a brother who causes so much chaos around the house. He throws food on the floor, has tantrums, and teases Chris. When Chris and Wills’s parents split up, things only get worse, and soon Chris is wondering where else Wills is wreaking his havoc. It is only when things get truly out of control that the two brothers manage to help each other out, and even find some solutions to the problems that they share.
