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.               ?
