The author of the beloved One for the Murphys gives readers an emotionally-charged, uplifting novel that will speak to anyone who’s ever thought there was something wrong with them because they didn’t fit in.

“Everybody is smart in different ways. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its life believing it is stupid.”

Ally has been smart enough to fool a lot of smart people. Every time she lands in a new school, she is able to hide her inability to read by creating clever yet disruptive distractions. She is afraid to ask for help; after all, how can you cure dumb? However, her newest teacher Mr. Daniels sees the bright, creative kid underneath the trouble maker. With his help, Ally learns not to be so hard on herself and that dyslexia is nothing to be ashamed of. As her confidence grows, Ally feels free to be herself and the world starts opening up with possibilities. She discovers that there’s a lot more to her—and to everyone—than a label, and that great minds don’t always think alike.

Que história sensacional!!!
Ally é uma aluna “encrenqueira”, que esconde um segredo: não sabe ler! As letras se movimentam, o que torna impossível que ela saiba o que está escrito no papel.
Mas tudo muda quando Mr. Daniels, professor que assume a turma dela, chega e vê que tem algo diferente nela.
Essa história trás a importância de termos olhos atentos as necessidades das nossas crianças. Foi preciso um “outsider” pra ajudá-la.
Eu gostei da leitura, foi muito fluida, rápida, me fez rir e chorar. Recomendo!
