Hiding the fact that she cannot read by acting out in school, Claire, who is the best gymnast on her team, must find the strength to take on her reading challenges so that she doesnât jeopardize her spot in the qualifiers. Simultaneous eBook. - Random House, Inc.
A diagnosis of dyslexia could change everything for an aspiring fifth-grade gymnast struggling at school in this authentic, high-energy novel in verse.Â
The print edition of this title is set in a font developed to be easy to read.
The gym is where Claire shines and sheâs on her way to qualifying for the state championships. But at school, sheâs known as a troublemakerâwhich is fine with her since it helps her hide her reading problem. Claire has never been able to make sense of the wobbling jumble of letters on a page.
When a sympathetic principal wonders if sheâs acting out because she may have dyslexia, sheâs stunned. Claire has always assumed sheâs dumb, so sheâs eager to get evaluated. But her mother balks. Afraid Claire will be labeled âstupid,â she refuses testing. Can Claire take on both her reading challenges and her motherâs denial? Is it worth jeopardizing her dream of the state championships?
Told in clear and poignant verse and featuring black and white illustrations, Claireâs struggle with something that seems to come easily to everyone else will resonate with readers and have them cheering her on.
