His mind (and mouth) operates at a different speed than everyone else he knows. This might have something to do with the fact that Gus has ADHD. Sometimes it feels like the best thing about him, and sometimes it lands him in a load of trouble.<\/p>\n<p>For example, one morning, Gus takes morning announcements wildly off script. Even though he hears nothing but laughter from fellow students at Pendrell Elementary, he\u2019s finally pushed Miss Funn (who\u2019s anything but) and Principal Gorby (who\u2019s getting tired of Gus\u2019s endless jokes and unfiltered stream of consciousness) to the limit.<\/p>\n<p>Now he\u2019s suspended for two whole days. With nothing else to do, Gus takes up his sister\u2019s invitation to take the ferry to meet her at her college. But on the ferry, Gus\u2019s thoughts begin to race. He\u2019s having trouble concentrating and can\u2019t calm down. At the speed of Gus\u2019s brain, the ride gets wilder and wilder, until it\u2019s hard to tell what\u2019s real from what\u2019s imagined. But despite the convoluted road he takes, can he still find a way to get to his destination?<\/p>\n<p>Fast-paced, funny and deeply sympathetic, At the Speed of Gus is about not always fitting, but figuring out how to find your own way.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"flex flex-col items-start space-y-2 self-stretch\">\n<h2 class=\"title size-sm lg:size-xl mt-4\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-92053\" src=\"https:\/\/fromthemixedupfiles.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/The-Stolen-Songbird-253x360.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"253\" height=\"360\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/bookshop.org\/p\/books\/the-stolen-songbird-judith-eagle\/8d4b169dc35164eb?ean=9781536242683&amp;next=t\">The Stolen Songbird by\u00a0Judith Eagle\u00a0<span class=\"text-sm text-default lg:text-base\">(Author) and\u00a0<\/span>Jo Rioux <span class=\"text-sm text-default lg:text-base\">(Illustrated by)<\/span><\/a><\/h2>\n<p><b>When Caro finds a stolen masterpiece in her missing mother\u2019s suitcase, she\u2019s thrust into a thrilling art-heist caper in 1950s London.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>When Caro Monday\u2019s mother disappears on one of her jaunts across the globe, Caro is forced to stay with her miserable great-aunt all the way across town.
