 Give a child hope by giving them this book! Feb 17, 2004
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.

Learning disability from a kid's perspective Jul 30, 2004
By mjburt
This book, about a child overcoming his difficulty in letter recognition and reading, is about more than dyslexia.The story is also about believing in yourself and succeeding. Lends understanding of dyslexia to not only children but to people of all ages. Beautifully illustrated and skillfully written, I'd suggest this book for anyone concerned with learning disability/education/teaching/youth etc. This is a one of a kind children's book.

A Kid Like Me Nov 27, 2007
By niknikmontana
I bought this for my 8 year old son who is an incredibly bright yet struggling student. He keeps asking to meet a boy like him. This is the closest I can come so far. This book brought tears to his eye, because he was so excited that Adam was just like him. His eyes sparkled with excitement as he exclaimed, "That's just like me!" The illustrations and metaphors are beautiful and inspiring. We are buying a copy to give to our son's classroom for the Holidays.
Children with Dyslexia. Jan 25, 2012
By Moosemade
A great book for families and educators who have children with dyslexia. A poignant and realistic view for those who have difficulties with tracking and reversals. A 'must read' for siblings and classmates!
Information, not a review. Dec 17, 2011
By Joan
Please read this. These kids get lost because schools don't know to look for this. Compare this to your childs report. Good luck to all of you!
