This story of a teacher in one of our
toughest comprehensives is about far more than education, as the parallel narratives of Harry, the teacher, and Lewis, an excluded student on his
final last chance, reveal.
Attention Deficit is a fast-paced, provocative and, at times, very funny exploration of what happens when life begins to get away from you.
