Cory Stories

In short statements and vignettes, Cory describes what it's like to have ADHD: how it affects his relationships with friends and family, his school performance, and his overall functioning. He also describes many ways of coping with ADHD: medication, therapy/counseling, and practical tips for school, home, and friendships.

Cory's Stories presents a nice, straightforward depiction of a child with ADHD who children can relate to, regardless or whether or not they share Cory's condition....It's not a comprehensive guide to ADHD, but it does present a character whose experiences will be relatable to children who have the same condition and help make those who don't more empathetic and understanding. The pictures go well with the text and add some humor to the story (I particularly liked his mad face when he talked about first grade being worse than kindergarten), and they do a good job of showing Cory's active side.-- "Books, Bytes and a Few Other Things"
