Paperback. Adventures of the Talented Twelfth is a powerful and playful collection of stories written by gifted youth, offering an unprecedented peek into the lives of smart, curious, creative kids -all as they turn 12 and embrace the adventure of growing up gifted.Too often, giftedness is misunderstood or narrowly defined by test scores, academic labels, or competition. But what happens when we ask gifted children to tell their own stories in their own words? You get this book: an inspiring, joyful, and refreshingly real celebration of what it means to be young, gifted, and unapologetically yourself.Each chapter is a personal essay written by a tween author reflecting on a summer memory, an identity moment, or a lesson learned. From basketball courts to science camps, birthday parties to museum mysteries, every page is filled with humor, insight, and heart. These aren't essays written for grades-they're written for connection, confidence, and community.Divided into four sections, the book begins with Prelude: Turning 12, where readers meet four unforgettable voices: atTCtheKid, Nyla the Baller, The Weekend King, and CiCi the Curious. Next, in Our Awesome Adventures, we follow the Talented Twelfth through waterpark fun, fireworks, tubing and tech, and unstructured play. Then, in Our Personal Favorite, the authors share their proudest moments-from scoring rare sneakers to backyard hoop dreams and cross-country family road trips. Finally, in Lessons We [Learned] Give, they offer their take on life's unexpected teachings, from navigating friendships and allergies to processing loss and finding strength in music.Edited by Dr. Kristina Henry Collins-research psychologist, educator, and nationally recognized leader in culturally grounded gifted education-this book is more than an anthology.

Información sobre el derecho de desistimiento
Derecho legal de desistimiento
Tiene derecho a rescindir este contrato en un plazo de 14 días sin dar ningún motivo.
El periodo de desistimiento vencerá a los 14 días desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesión física del último bien o del último lote o pieza.
Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electrónica y envíe una declaración clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a través de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electrónico).
Para cumplir con el plazo de desistimiento, basta con que envíe su comunicación relativa al ejercicio del derecho de desistimiento antes de que venza el periodo de desistimiento.

Podemos hacer una deducción del reembolso por la pérdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la pérdida es el resultado de una manipulación innecesaria por su parte.
Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a más tardar, 14 días después de que se nos informe de su decisión de rescindir este contrato.
Efectuaremos el reembolso utilizando el mismo medio de pago que utilizó para la transacción inicial, a menos que haya acordado expresamente lo contrario; en cualquier caso, no incurrirá en ningún cargo como resultado de dicho reembolso.
