Good reference book for gifted students
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
I am a coordinator for gifted programs and often need a resource for gifted students. I like this one because it is written for the students to read themselves and deals with problems they face on their own level. I keep several copies and loan them out to students as needed.
Excellent Book

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.

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".
Enlightening

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.
