Is finishing a test in the given amount of time? Or, is it the ability to not get distracted at important times like at a chess tournament or in class? If so, Clea would not be considered smart. Twelve year-old Clea can’t seem to do anything right these days. When she fails one too many tests, her parents take her to see a psychologist to get help. Clea is diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (without the hyperactivity), which means she can be smart but still struggle with things going on in her mind. Now that she has this diagnosis, she must learn coping strategies necessary to help her be successful in school and on the chess team. Can Clea find ways to help her stay focused? Find out by reading Focused by Alyson Gerber. (Oklahoma Sequoyah Book Awards, 2021)
