The book is divided into three parts: identifying the highly able, why they should be provided for, and how to make provision. Each chapter begins with a case study of a child, reported in their own words. These give a good idea of the variety of ways high ability can manifest itself and illustrates three important and often neglected points: that these children are as different from each other as any other, they are also just children, and not all of them find school life easy.
Global and historical perspectives are covered, along with problems of defining what giftedness is, how to identify it and the language used to define the subject.
