A boy with ADHD discovers his talent for hypnosis in Reggie Houser Has the Power, leading to humorous adventures and important lessons about responsibility.

In Reggie Houser Has the Power, readers are introduced to Reggie, a young boy grappling with ADHD and the challenges that come with it. Struggling to fit in at school, he often feels like an outsider, with his energetic personality wearing thin on his teachers and peers. However, everything changes when he witnesses a hypnotist perform at a holiday park. Captivated by the art of mind control, Reggie discovers that he possesses a remarkable talent for hypnosis, which initially brings him joy and a sense of belonging.

As Reggie explores his newfound abilities, he uses them in humorous ways, such as convincing his dog that it’s a frog and making his headmaster cluck like a chicken during assembly. However, the excitement of his powers soon leads him into trouble when a group of bullies manipulates him into using his talents for their own gain. Faced with moral dilemmas, Reggie must navigate the complexities of friendship, responsibility, and the importance of using his powers for good.

Reggie Houser Has the Power is a heartwarming and comedic tale that encourages empathy and kindness among young readers. With its relatable protagonist and engaging storyline, the book offers a thoughtful exploration of ADHD while delivering laugh-out-loud moments. It’s a delightful read for children and a great way to spark conversations about self-acceptance and the value of integrity.
