Description

---

A straight-talking but uplifting story about a boy with ADHD and the sparks that fly when he moves in with his perfectionist step-sister.

Jamie Lee just wants to be normal, but his ADHD isn't making it easy. If only he could control his butterfly mind he'd be able to keep out of trouble. Elin Watts just wants to be perfect. If she could be the best student and daughter possible, then maybe her dad would leave his new family and come back to live with Elin and her mom.

When Jamie and Elin's families blend, the polar opposites of chaotic Jamie and ordered Elin collide. As their lives spiral out of control, Jamie and Elin discover that they're actually more alike than they'd admit. Uplifting and moving, The Boy with the Butterfly Mind is an inspiring story of acceptance, blended families, and discovering that in the end, being yourself is more than enough.
