An Author Conversation and Book Signing
Tuesday Evening, October 20, 2015
This fall, UOD's popular book event will feature Fish in a Tree, and author Lynda Mullaly Hunt. This highly praised, middle grade children's book has a learning disability theme.
Every time Ally lands in a new school, she is able to hide her inability to read by creating clever yet disruptive distractions.
But with the help of a new teacher, she discovers that there's a lot more to her -- and to everyone -- than a label, and that great minds don't always think alike.

I agree, I wouldn’t consider it a best practice.
