Fish in a Tree

Ally Nickerson is smart, funny, and full of ideas — and she has spent years hiding a secret: she cannot really read, because the letters shimmer and move on the page. To keep anyone from finding out, she causes trouble, and has been shuffled through seven schools. Then a new teacher, Mr. Daniels, sees past the ‘trouble’ to the brilliant girl underneath, gives her difference a name — dyslexia — and shows her that a mind that reads differently can still be a remarkable mind. With two true friends and a teacher who believes in her, Ally learns the book’s great truth: that everybody is smart in different ways, and that, as the saying goes, if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will spend its life believing it is stupid. Lynda Mullaly Hunt’s beloved bestseller is a moving story of dyslexia, friendship, and courage. These 8 Part workbooks cover the full novel, with vocabulary, comprehension, literary analysis, Think Deeper reasoning, SAT & TOEFL-style practice, and writing, all built on real-world CLIL background.
