Fish In A Tree

Fish in a Tree is an amazing book that talks about friendship, school, and dyslexia. The book talks about a girl named Ally who struggles with school and reading. At every new school, she creates distractions to avoid showing her difficulty. She’s scared to ask for help because she thinks it makes her look “dumb.” However, her new teacher, Mr. Daniels, sees her creativity and helps her understand that dyslexia isn’t something to be ashamed of. As Ally’s confidence grows, she starts to be herself, and discovers new opportunities and friends: Albert, a kid who wears the same t-shirt every day, and Keisha, a new girl who is never afraid, and always stands up for others. Keisha and Ally become friends after Mr. Daniels changes their seating arrangement, and they end up together. Their friendship shines when Ally runs for class representative, and her friends support her.
