Martin's been diagnosed with ADHD, but he feels something about his diagnosis isn't right. The Ritalin he's prescribed doesn't seem to make a difference. When Martin's grades continue to sink no matter how hard he tries, his father writes him off as lazy and just plain stupid. His dad is convinced that Martin just needs to focus more on his studies and less on making movies. One night while out pursuing his passion on the city streets with his camera, Martin meets Stick and is introduced to the energetic and exciting pastime of parkour -- free-running. While filming Stick's flips and tricks, Martin begins to see a connection between how his brain interprets the world, all jumbled and fast-moving and out of order, and what the free-runners see. Camera in hand, Martin sets out to make a video that will show his dad what he sees, and hopefully get him to understand that Martin's real learning disability, dyslexia, has never been properly diagnosed.

I like this book for students in middle school who have a learning disorder(although even those without will enjoy and learn as well). These students might sometimes feel they are losers or too stupid to try anymore and this book might help them when they see someone else struggle and learn to work with their disability. Martin has to work incredibly hard to break even as he put it but he keeps going. He has to keep trying even while his dad continually tells him he is stupid, yelling and punishing him for his bad grades. This book show how stressful a learning disability can be but also how that same disability can spur creativity in people. This book might help some students see that everyone has the ability to learn it’s just that not everyone learns in the same way. ( )
