Very well-organized and readable guide. As an editor, I always instructed my authors of self-help and instructional books to use anecdotes and storytelling, and Carol Fertig does that here, making for a very readable, informative book. ( )

I was hoping this book would give me some hints on dealing with my very intense gifted child. I was disappointed both by the lackluster presentation of information and the tone which was occasionally condescending. ( )

A decent introduction to the topic. No surprises. Some links to resources. Spends three pages talking up Goodreads, which annoyed me a little. ( )
