Reggie Houser Has the Power (Rutter Helen)(Paperback / softback)

  'Very funny, very touching, very truthful - a total delight to read.' Jacqueline Wilson 'Light-hearted and warm.' Booktrust 'A funny, sensitive story featuring a hilariously likeable protagonist and a sympathetic, well-informed portrayal of ADHD.' The Guardian This is the story of how hypnosis saved a boy. Reggie Houser has ADHD and struggles to make friends at school, plus his mum and teachers seem constantly weary about his erratic, high-energy ways. But when he sees a hypnotist perform on stage at the holiday park he visits, Reggie becomes obsessed with learning the skills of mind control - and he discovers he has an incredible talent for it! First of all he hypnotises the dog to think he's a frog, then makes his headmaster cluck like a chicken in assembly in front of the whole school But then a group of mean kids supposedly take him under their wing and make him use his hypnosis talents for bad: stealing a chocolate bar from a shop and escalating to a bigger theft. Reggie must decide to use his skills for good only and come to trust his own brain to make decisions. Packed with brilliant jokes and one-liners to make kids roar with laughter A book to encourage empathy and kindness in young readers Perfect for fans of Jacqueline Wilson, Lisa Thompson and Jenny Pearson.   Praise for The Boy Who Mad
