Raising the Ritalin Generation
I remember the moment my son’s teacher told us, “Just a little medication could really turn things around for Will.” We stared at her as if she were speaking Greek.
“Are you talking about Ritalin?” my husband asked.

★ Library Journal Starred Review
“Debut author [Bronwen Hruska] has woven an engagingly believable narrative with just the right amount of snark. VERDICT This compelling story of high-pressure early academics in Manhattan will appeal to readers of Tom Perrotta, Jennifer Haigh, and other authors whose novels about families in a particular segment of society illuminate the larger human condition.”

Book Talking My Way Through ALA: ALA Annual 2012
Parents’ Warning. Browen Hruska’s…cautionary tale is universal: “It’s not just this school, not just Manhattan, and not just New York, but all over the country.” My prediction: lots of controversy when the book publishes.

The Book Reporter
“There’s a lot to talk about once you finish it; I can see book groups weighing in on all sides of the meds issue as there is much to explore. When I was reading it, I saw a piece in the New York Times talking about kids snorting drugs before the SATs to improve their focus. Wild!”
