Summary: Give a child hope by giving them this book!
Review: This exciting new book, a story about Adam, a young dyslexic boy learning to read, is an expert portrayal of what many children face when they begin the battle between desire and disability. Adam represents the creative, talented and imaginative spirit in all of us and Robb expertly describes Adam's frustration and near defeat as he learns to overcome his shortcomings with the help of his mother and tutor. Its impossible not to cheer him on as he learns to stop pretending and feeling behind and breaks the "code" to win the war against words. The confidence he gains in himself is emphasized by the colorful, life-like illustrations. This book is a must-have for anyone who knows a child struggling with dyslexia.
