I enjoyed reading this story with my 2 boys, who are going through bullying at school. I found it to be a wonderful lesson, and was able to use the story as a good starting point for a discussion on why fighting is not neccessarily a good option to resolve issues. Technically, I do think the book could be improved and polished a bit by good editing, although I would not make the story too long, as you need to take the age it is written for into account.

It is so obvious that the author knows what it is like to live with a chatterbox. This story beautifully captures the essense of the Hyper Child, and gives real advice for real problems. My sos's response to the book was classic: "Maybe I need to go sleep outside in the rain, then I will also stop talking too much."
