Caroline Janover Illustrated by Rick Powell Zipper (a.k.a. Zachary Winson) is always annoying somebody. He says things without thinking, forgets to do his homework; and though he’s a talented pitcher; he misses a key baseball game. Underneath it all Zipper is a bright fifth grader, but his impulsive behavior gets him into trouble at school, at home, and even with the police. Along the way Zipper meets Pete, a retired jazz musician and discovers a new talent – playing the drums. But in order to earn the right to rent a drum set and jam with Pete, Zipper has to be more organized and learn to control his actions. Zipper, the Kid with ADHD will encourage other kids to find ways to manage their behavior, and give their friends a look at what it’s like to have this disorder.
