some interest.

Have a great holiday.

For books about Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) for teenagers, several
resources were recommended:

ADD Warehouse : The catalog for the ADD Warehouse lists materials by
category such as Adult, Assessment, Children, etc.  Materials in the
'children' category consist of self-help ("Adolescents and ADD") and
edutainment ("Eukee the Jumpy, Jumpy Elephant").

adhdezine.com - a free monthly ezine : The ezine lists the top 10 books
on teenagers and ADD and ADHD each moonth.  Most are of the self-help
nature.
http://www.adhdezine.com/booksteenagers.html

ALA publishes "Quick Picks for Reluctant Young Adult Readers" annually.
 While the books are advertised for 'reluctant' readers, there is no
reason not to include ADD/ADHD teens as one of  their target audiences.
A press release on the ALA site contains the top ten and the full list
can be obtained from the Young Adult Library Services Association,
affiliated with ALA.

"The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn. "  Alvin Toffler
"Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go." T. S. Eliot
"The master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his information and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence at whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he's always doing both." James Michener
