Award-winning author Jodi Carmichael, who has ADHD
herself, affirms and celebrates those who struggle with their uniqueness
and
triumphantly discover its gifts
It isn't easy being Louisa Elizabeth Fitzhenry-O'Shaughnessy--especially
with dyslexia. She prefers Lou Fox, the dream name she'll use one day
as a famous Broadway playwright. In the meantime, Lou is stuck in fifth
grade with Mrs. Snyder, a total Shadow Phantom of a teacher who can spot
a daydream from across the room but doesn't know anything about ADHD.
Mrs. Snyder's constant attention is ex-cru-ci-a-ting. If only she
would disappear.
Fortunately, life isn't all a-tro-cious. There's The Haunting at
Lakeside School, the play Lou is writing and directing for her two best
friends. And soon she'll be a big sister at last. Nothing could ruin the
joy of those things...right?
