Based on the author‘s grandmother‘s life, this novel in verse captures the struggle of “word blindness”, now known as dyslexia. Her mom lets her fill up a blank book with art and words-little do they know that book will save them. Cuba - 1912. MG novel in verse

CollapsingLibrary I love a novel in verse, especially MG or YA. Let kids see the versatility of poetry. And this sounds like such a good story! 8mo
