(4) 4-6 Fifth-grader Alex can't do anything right because she cannot control her impulses. In spite of this, she hopes her parents will let her attend the birth of her new sibling (although she has second thoughts after viewing a birthing video). Though the characters can sound stiff and too adult, Alex is sympathetic and her learning disability is thoughtfully portrayed.
