La tigre della notte by Yangsze Choo
Did not finish book. Stopped at 54%.

the premise is great but the pacing doesn’t work + the romance element is extremely boring and doesn’t make sense. really liked the setting, the writing style and the cultural elements in the story, but don’t see myself finishing this anytime soon so dnf.

Meet the Dyslexia Club!: The Amazing Talents, Skills and Everyday Life of Children with Dyslexia by Margaret Rooke

informative fast-paced

4.25

This book focuses on a group of children with dyslexia. They share their stories, their dreams, their struggles, and their hopes for the future. I really enjoyed the focus on the passions and strenghts each one of these kids has. The book is well-written, highly informative and perfect for anyone who works with children. I think the education system should try more and more to make every single child feel included in the classroom because each one of their experiences matters. Reading a book like this one can have a positive impact on the educators and challenge them (and the system) to create a classroom where everyone's needs are met and everyone can learn and enjoy it.
