Book Reviews of Phoebe's Best Best Friend: Phoebe Flower's Adventures
Book Review: A Wonderful Book
Summary: 5 Stars
As a mother with an eight year old girl diagnosed with ADD, I embraced this series of books. Phoebe Flowers is a girl with all the same attributes and mindset as my daughter. As ADD can present itself quite differently in girls, this book refers to a girl that my daughter can relate with, and see that she is not all that different. The socializing problems, the lack of friends, and the difficulty in forming friendships is explored in the text of this narrative, from the viewpoint of the central character. With great humour Barbara Roberts explores the mysteries of social cues and poinantly allows the reader to make conclusions on their own. My daughter and I laughed our way through the book together. There were important breaks in the chapters which allowed me to delve into further discussions with my daughter about her ADD and how it affects her, and her environment. This is a must read for anyone with a child with ADD. It is also a must read for any child in the primary school years. All children can relate to the characters, and their predicament.

But then her mother confides to Phoebe that she had similar problems as a girl and wishes that help had been available to her back then.

Completing it at last, Phoebe is proud of her accomplishment, and excited that, through her writing; she's discovered the true meaning of best friend.Special Needs Books
