ABSTRACT
Jake was always getting in trouble. He didn’t mean to act up; he just couldn’t stop himself from moving and talking all of the time. It was like Jake had a motor inside of him that was always revving at high speed. In fact, his parents used to call him “Motor Man” because of the way he would run around the house with his toy cars and planes. Abby always forgot things. She forgot to bring her homework and books home with her after school. She forgot to do her homework because she got caught up watching TV or chatting with her friends on Facebook. Even when she did remember to do her homework, sometimes Abby forgot to turn it in. If things at home and school weren’t bad enough, Abby’s social life hasn’t been much better, especially since she started the eighth grade this year.
