John Lithgow seems to be amazingly multitalented for, in addition to his other accomplishments, he's penned this New York Times Best-Seller, The Remarkable Farkle McBride. I can imagine him reading this book aloud with his distinctive style. If you know a gifted and talented student, you may be familiar with the precocious talent and insatiable drive of Farkle McBride. Such a child may welcome Farkle's story; high potential learners can feel isolated and neglected if not given appropriate avenues for achievement. C.F. Payne captures Farkle's maturing face and emotional range: frustration, in harmony with music, pride, joy, and maturity. I like how Lithgow dots the text with colorful vocabulary like "beseeching", "rhapsodical ", and "notwithstanding." Best of all, Farkle McBride's genius is rewarded in the end.
