The Boy Who Learned Upside Down

Red corrections marks cover his book report like chickenpox. Letters turn cartwheels across the page when he tries to read. No wonder Alex is ready to give up. But with help from a caring teacher and his loyal dog Shadow, Alex changes his mind about school—and about himself.

The Boy Who Learned Upside Down is based on the true story of one child’s courageous journey from “I can’t” to “I can!” and has inspired thousands of other youngsters with learning challenges. Filled with humor, adventure, and a really cool dog, it shows that what causes a child shame may be the source of his or her greatest gift.
