| Publisher Description: His exact illness is unknown, but one thing is for sure, Maurice is a mad ten year old boy. He is violent and full of hate. His rage is evident at home, school, and everywhere else he goes. Maurice's anger goes to a whole new level when his mother abandons him along with everyone else in the family. Maurice's grandmother is left to take care of him. She does her best trying to help her grandson, but her efforts are useless until she meets a strange man who helps Maurice whimper down. Says the author, "Over the years, I have taught children who have disabilities such as emotionally disturbed, behavior disorder, bipolar, schizophrenia, hard of hearing, blind, down syndrome, autistic, learning disabled, dyslexia, speech disorder, and physically disabled. Now I see children with unexplained mental disabilities, so doctors just give them the label: other health impaired." |
