Liam Creed was excluded from school more times than he can remember, his outbursts got him into nasty fights, he faced a constant struggle with medication, and his family were driven to despair. All because he was born with an inability to sit still and concentrate: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Liam thought his life was destined for failure - after all, that's what had been drummed into him for years - until, one life-changing day, he met a mischievous bundle of energy called Aero. Working for a charity called Canine Partners, Liam found himself training Aero, a Labrador puppy, to help people with disabilities live an independent life. Yet, somehow, along the way, his relationship with the pup started working on his own affliction too. Unexpectedly Aero and Liam develop a special bond. As Liam struggles to train the bouncy pup, for once he doesn't feel useless and afflicted. Might the dog have given him a focus? An understanding of how to control his own behaviour? And most of all, a sense of hope for a better future? This is the story of Liam and his unlikely teacher, Aero.
