SCHOOL LIBRARIAN REVIEW: Most everyone I know has already read this book...but if you haven't, you should. Similarly, I have yet to see a library that doesn't already have this in their collection. If you don't have it...please get it.

A girl who has moved around a lot because her father is in the military has made it through years of schooling without anyone catching on to the fact that she can't read. Her go-to plan is to get in so much trouble that she gets out of reading aloud by going to the office.

This all changes when a new teacher comes into her life and sees her creativity and drive rather than her failings.
