Todd Stanley wrote a practical book that provides educators and families with insightful information about gifted and underachieving students. Not only were there reasons for underachievement, but also strategies and solutions to support these unique learners in classrooms. I found that the most powerful piece of information is that there is not a one-size-fits all. Getting to know students and becoming an advocate for them will provide a safe and trusting environment in which they can learn and thrive.

This book is an excellent resource for educators who are trying to figure out why gifted students are not achieving to their potential.  It offers practical solutions for how to help these students perform successfully in the classroom.  It helps that this book maintains the reader's interest as it is not dry and clinical in its presentation. 

This book gives the reader a perspective that is needed on learning.  An easy read for both educators and parents.  Job well done!
