Kevin has attention difficulties and dreads doing his report on cheetahs, especially because unsympathetic "Beezer the Buzzard" is substituting while his teacher is in Africa. With help from friends, the librarian, and his gym teacher, Kevin successfully completes the assignment. Nagda's handling of ADHD is judicious, but this lively story also incorporates everyday issues of school pressures, social anxieties, and responsibilities at home.
