This is a nice school story about a girl with dyslexia struggling with her schoolwork and trying to fit in. Her teacher is amazing, and really illustrates how one person paying attention can make such a huge difference. 
 "Absolutely Almost" has set a high bar for this kind of story, and I didn't think the writing was quite as strong. I also thought there were some turnarounds near the end that weren't quite believable. 
 I've realized that not only can kids who feel like they don't fit in get hope from stories like this, but their parents can too.
