Palacio&’s Wonder will appreciate this feel-good story of friendship and unconventional smarts.&” —Kirkus Reviews &“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.

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.
