Un poisson ne sait pas grimper aux arbres, mais ça ne veut pas dire qu'il est stupide pour autant. Allie a un secret inavouable : elle ne sait pas lire. Elle est parvenue à bien le cacher à l'école, mais cela lui pèse de plus en plus. Elle en a assez qu'on la prenne pour une idiote. Tout change le jour où un nouveau professeur arrive : il s'intéresse à tous ses élèves et essaie de comprendre les difficultés de chacun. Saura-t-il trouver une solution au problème d'Allie ? Ce livre est également disponible dans une édition spéciale pour lecteur dyslexique.

From the author of the New York Times bestselling novel Fish in a Tree! Carley uses humor and street smarts to keep her emotional walls high and thick. But the day she becomes a foster child, and moves in with the Murphys, she's blindsided. This loving, bustling family shows Carley the stable family life she never thought existed, and she feels like an alien in their cookie-cutter-perfect household. Despite her resistance, the Murphys eventually show her what it feels like to belong--until her mother wants her back and Carley has to decide where and how to live. She's not really a Murphy, but the gifts they've given her have opened up a new future. "Hunt's writing is fearless and One For The Murphys is a story that is at once compassionate, thought-provoking and beautifully told. From the first page, I was drawn into Carley's story. She is a character not to be missed or forgotten." —Jacqueline Woodson, National Book Award-winning author of Brown Girl Dreaming Winner of the Tassy Walden Award for New Voice in Children's Literature

From the author of the New York Times bestseller Fish in a Tree comes a compelling story about perspective and learning to love the family you have. Delsie loves tracking the weather--lately, though, it seems the squalls are in her own life. She's always lived with her kindhearted Grammy, but now she's looking at their life with new eyes and wishing she could have a "regular family." Delsie observes other changes in the air, too--the most painful being a friend who's outgrown her. Luckily, she has neighbors with strong shoulders to support her, and Ronan, a new friend who is caring and courageous but also troubled by the losses he's endured. As Ronan and Delsie traipse around Cape Cod on their adventures, they both learn what it means to be angry versus sad, broken versus whole, and abandoned versus loved. And that, together, they can weather any storm.

En el Instituto Ally es incapaz de leer y la idea de pedir ayuda la aterroriza. Pero cuando su tutora se va de baja por maternidad y el profesor Daniels se hace cargo de su clase, su vida da un vuelco; este inmediatamente se da cuenta de que Ally simplemente padece de dislexia. Gracias al profesor Daniels, descubrirá que las personas son mucho más que simples etiquetas, y que los grandes genios no siempre piensan como la mayoría de los mortales. ¿O es que nadie sabe que Albert Einstein, Walt Disney, Leonardo da Vinci, Beethoven o Napoleón tenían dislexia?
