I think this book is so good. I really liked it because she couldn't read no one could figure out why some classmates teased her. One teacher found out about the kids teasing her ad now he is trying to teach her how to read. Will she be able to read you,r find out if you read it.
Thank You, Mr. Falker

It took a very special teacher to recognize little Trisha's dyslexia: Mr. Falker, who encouraged her to overcome her reading disability. Patricia Polacco will never forget him, and neither will we.

Oh, so nice. My sister cried. Amazing book.
i absolutely love this book i love patricia polacco's books there all pretty amazing.
I love this book! This is based on a true story about the author herself, Patricia Polacco. Trisha has trouble reading. She could not read until she was in 5th grade. All the kids made fun of her and teased her. When her teachers would call on her to read aloud, they would have to help her with every word. She was bullied. Every day. She started not believing herself. But one teacher named Mr. Falker believes in her. He helps her and encourages her to overcome her reading disability. He teaches her that she CAN overcome her disability. And Patricia Polacco will NEVER forget him. Enjoy reading, and have a great day! ~AlphaWolf13
