October is ADHD Awareness Month, a month dedicated to raising greater awareness of what ADHD is (it’s so much more  than hyperactivity!), who has it (not just little boys), and strengths and weaknesses.

While I love a good movie adaptation, I have been living for all of the YA books turned into TV series — you get all of the book-to-screen magic, but with multiple episodes, fully developed storyline storylines, and exciting new spins!
