Synopsis :

When you really want to know what it's like to grow up gifted, ask gifted kids. Based on a survey of thousands of young people around the world, this candid, refreshing book helps gifted kids know they're not alone and they're definitely not "weird." Quotes from real kids ages 6-12 and brief biographies provide insight into challenges gifted children face, like trying to fit in, dealing with adults' expectations, making mistakes, and being bored in school. Activities help readers relate the information and issues to their own lives. A must for any gifted child―and for any grown-up who wants to know the good stuff and bad stuff, cool parts and different parts of growing up gifted today.
