Joice, Executive Director, Epilepsy Foundation of New Jersey "Provides a wealth of accurate and useful information for patients and their families."-- Kirkus Reviews "Does a good job of inspiring readers while educating them about this condition, and back matter gives more information about it."-- School Library Journal "Not only is this book interesting, fun, and motivation-- it is educational, too. Mike included a guide for dealing with epilepsy, information on the types of epilepsy, and information on what to do if someone has a seizure."--Epilepsy Foundation of Connecticut
