Publisher Description

A New York Times Bestseller!

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.

person loll ,

One of my favorite realistic fiction reads so far!

The characters are relatable, the story is really good! Every chapter makes you want to turn the page. This was one of my 5th grade math teacher’s favorite books!

The Best

One of the finest books I’ve read in years. So inspiring. Am now reading it with my nine multi-grade students in grades five through eight and will tell them to keep the copies I bought for them for their own personal memories of our time together. Thank you so much for the unbelievable life lessons for these young people.
