The Official Kids' Guide to Scrabble will help young players develop their word knowledge, anagramming skills, and prepare them for tournament play, including how to play with adults and learning how to win and lose graciously.

Janet tries to do everything she is told by her doctors and follow the rules, but still encounters obstacles in her battle to come to terms with her diagnosis.

The story also gives many bipolar affective patients hope, with the knowledge that it is possible to overcome this diagnosis and lead a normal life.
