Customer Reviews

Excellent book for dyslexic child

This book is wonderful. Mr. Graves uses different fonts, colors, and letter sizes throughout this book which ended up being much easier for my 9 year old dyslexic son to read. He loves this book and wants to read longer than the amount of time he has to read each night. It is a challenge to find books that appeal to an older boy with a reading disability. We will be ordering more of Mr. Grave's books! I highly recommend this book - it is a lot of fun! Thank you Mr. Graves!
