Stupid (Lorimer SideStreets)

<p>Martin’s been diagnosed with ADHD, but he feels something about his diagnosis isn’t right. The Ritalin he’s prescribed doesn’t seem to make a difference. When Martin’s grades continue to sink no matter how hard he tries, his father writes him off as lazy and just plain stupid. His dad is convinced that Martin just needs to focus more on his studies and less on making movies. One night while out pursuing his passion on the city streets with his camera, Martin meets Stick and is introduced to the energetic and exciting pastime of parkour--free running. While filming Stick’s flips and tricks, Martin begins to see a connection between how his brain interprets the world, all jumbled and fast-moving and out of order, and what the free runners see. Camera in hand, Martin sets out to make a video that will show his dad what he sees and, Martin hopes, get him to understand that Martin’s real learning disability, dyslexia, has never been properly diagnosed.</p>

Dan is a fairly normal fifteen-year-old―he likes girls (obviously), hates school (ditto), and he lives to play bass guitar. But at home, things aren't normal at all. His mother is schizophrenic, and uses a system of numbers she's developed to determine if something is good or evil. She plasters the walls with pages of obscure calculations and lists of digits, and obsesses over them long into the night―and her behavior is only getting more and more erratic. One day, Dan's numbers turn bad, and she begins to threaten him physically. Dan could just run away, but he's worried about what would happen to the nine-year-old brother he's fought so hard to protect. All Dan wants is a normal life, but how can he keep his family together and keep them safe at the same time?
