Bookroo's summary
Adam's world turns upside down when letters refuse to make sense. As classmates breeze through reading, he fights an Alphabet War, where 'was' becomes 'saw' and frustration mounts. Trouble follows him to the principal's office, but hope arrives in third grade with the right help. Can Adam find confidence and discover his hidden talents, or will the letters win? Join Adam on a journey of struggle and triumph, where perseverance might just lead to unexpected victories.
From the publisher
When Adam started kindergarten, the teacher wanted him to learn about letters. But “p” looked like “q,” and “b” looked like “d.” In first grade, he had to put the letters into words so he could read. That was the beginning of the Alphabet War! This engaging picture book will encourage children with dyslexia that their struggles will get easier over time, and provides a great resources for parents and educators.
