Rooke, a writer and columnist in the UK, began to research dyslexia when her daughter was diagnosed at age 13. She found, through talking to physicians and other families, that dyslexia is more of a learning process style than a disorder and that there have been many high achievers (e.g., Albert Einstein, Agatha Christie, Steve Jobs, Steven Spielberg) who were able to learn around their diagnosis. To encourage dyslexic students, their parents, and their teachers, Rooke presents the stories of well-known peoples from the arts, sports, and business world who talk about how dyslexia affected their childhood, how they overcame their problems, and what special strengths they used to succeed in life. VERDICT This book will be an inspiration to all who work with children, especially those with special needs.

Gr 9 Up-In this inspirational book, 23 famous British individuals from the business, arts, and sports worlds discuss growing up with dyslexia. Many of the contributors believe that it is a blessing to be dyslexic and attribute their success to the unique set of skills they have developed as a result, such as being determined, looking at things visually, and listening carefully. Though the writers discuss awkward and uncomfortable moments, readers will come to understand how the individuals grew beyond those experiences and that support from parents and family is essential. These selections will also help educators and other adults learn to recognize the signs of dyslexia in the classroom and appreciate the depth of emotional difficulty that this condition can present. "About Dyslexia," a bulleted section listing signs of dyslexia, and "Where to Go for Help" are appended. VERDICT An enlightening read for anyone in the field of education, and an inspirational book for those who have dyslexia.-Robyn Gioia, Antilles Middle School, Fort Buchanan, Puerto Rico
