Description
Meet Stella. Stella and her friends are so excited for fifth grade and for a new witch game that is releasing. However, Stella becomes very behind on her textbooks for school, and all her friends are ahead of her on the new game. Stella wants to hang out with her friends, but she’s too embarrassed to say that she’s struggling to read her textbooks. Stella learns that she has dyslexia, and with help, she learns how she can deal with it.
I know that the story is trying to represent the difficulties that come with having dyslexia, but I felt like the story got a little boring because most of the book was just Stella being frustrated and struggling with things. I think the book could’ve used some sort of fun aspect during all Stella’s struggles. The art was really good, and I liked the bright colors, but for me, it wasn’t the style of art I personally like. My favorite characters were Stella’s friends: Emiko and Latasha. They seemed like very supportive friends, but their witch obsession got repetitive for me. I recommend this book to people who like witches and people who have dyslexia.
