School can be tough when sitting still feels impossible, when socks are scratchy, and when your mind drifts to the ocean instead of maths.
Lucas always seemed to be getting into trouble and he sometimes felt like the “naughty” kid. But everything changed the day he discovered that his ADHD wasn’t a weakness – it was his superpower!
Join Lucas at The Brilliant Brain Club where he learns that having a racing-car-fast brain and being neurodivergent is something to be proud of. And he’s not alone. There are more and more neurodivergent kids with brilliant brains and together, they make the world brighter, kinder and more creative.
In the Brilliant Brain Club, all minds work differently and everyone is welcomed for who they are.
Whether your superpower is creativity, focus, energy or empathy, this is where you belong.

About The Author
Lucas Ocean Gallagher is a creative and adventurous 10-year-old from the Gold Coast, Australia.
He is passionate about the sea, surfing and protecting marine life, and he proudly serves as a junior ambassador for ocean conservation. Lucas dreams of one day building a career connected to the ocean so he can continue to protect and preserve it for future generations.
Lucas is also proudly neurodivergent. Living with ADHD, OCD tendencies and anxiety, he knows what it feels like to be different – and he wants other children to know that their differences are powerful. His imagination and unique perspective shaped the heart of The Brilliant Brain Club, giving an authentic voice to the experiences of neurodivergent kids everywhere.
Lucas co-wrote this book with his mum, Kellie-Anne Gallagher, an author and artist whose first book, For You, Love Me: Living with Autism and ADHD, shares her journey of late-diagnosed neurodivergence and celebrates the power of living authentically. Together, Lucas and Kellie-Anne combined their voices to create a story that encourages children to be proud of their brilliant brains and to see themselves as valued, important and loved exactly as they are.
