This book will ease the way for any dyslexic adolescent grappling with the trials and tribulations (and the joys) of transitioning to life at secondary school. Alais and Zac bring a lightness of touch to this engaging, visual journey into life with dyslexia. -- Alison Patrick - author of 'The Dyspraxic Learner - strategies for success.'

I could really relate to this. I really liked the images and some of it made me laugh.
This would be good for anyone with dyslexia because it is so relatable and shows them that they are not the only one.

It's just amazing (like yoda).
