“Dyslexia is the affliction of a frozen genius.”
----Stephen Richards,
author, film director, self-help expert
From Albert Einstein to Leonardo da Vinci to Muhammad Ali to Agatha Christie to Henry Ford, each one of them was a remarkable genius in their own field, but unfortunately they were all a victim of Dyslexia. I sometimes wonder how they all got through their high schools.
Kate Scott, another victim of Dyslexia, is an American author, who had penned down this tale of a young girl named Sam, a dyslexic girl, in her new book
Counting to D, and shows us how she copes with her Dyslexia among her peers at such a tender age.
Thanks to the author, Kate Scott, for providing me with a copy of her book, in return for an honest and biased review.
Samantha Wilson, a math’s prodigy, is the smartest and intelligent girl among her peers ...but she is also illiterate. Sam was diagnosed with Dyslexia at a very tender age, but that didn't make her any less smart. Due to her mom's new job, she had to move to Oregon with her, leaving behind her only two good friends, Arden and Gabby. In Oregon, she decides to keep her diagnosis as a secret, thereby joining up with the coolest and smartest kids club, called the Brain Trust. But along her struggle to keep up her grades high, she makes some good friends like Eli, Kaitlyn and aah, her crush, Nate, of course, he's another prodigy kid.
