"Adam's progression from an even-tempered and confident child to a
withdrawn, frustrated, and often-troubled one is realistically
portrayed in Robb's lengthy text and in Piazza's striking pastel
illustrations. Equally realistic is the depiction of the long, slow
process that leads to Adam's eventual success as a reader. Adam's
experience will inspire and encourage many youngsters who find
themselves in similar predicaments. Equally important, the book
sounds an alarm for educators and parents."--Booklist
"The subject matter is handled with respect for his feelings at
every stage of the process, and does not oversimplify or sugarcoat
the difficulties of dyslexia."--School Library Journal
