This short booklet for children is part of a series designed to teach children about a range of health conditions common to many looked after children.
Sam has a secret and he doesn’t want anyone to find out what it is. He has trouble reading, writing and spelling and is worried that his new foster family will not want him to stay if they find out. With the help of his carers, teachers and social worker, Sam soon discovers that his secret is a real problem with a real name – dyslexia – and that lots of clever people have the same problem too! Will things get easier for Sam now?
This story about dyslexia will be helpful for any child aged seven to 11 who has difficulty reading and writing, or who knows someone who does. The book includes a question and answer section which covers a wide range of queries and concerns about dyslexia, and provides practical information and advice in a straightforward and child-friendly style.

Reviews
The story, a chapter book perfect for newly-confident readers, is very well written, and while there are facts involved, most of it is pure story. The facts really come later in a series of questions and answers at the end of the book. Small colour illustrations are scattered throughout the book. While severely dyslexic children will need the story read to them, it will prove a positive and helpful introduction to the whole concept of dyslexia and how it can be helped.
