No student would feel ashamed for having this book in her arms, even though it is a book about a tween’s struggle with dyslexia. The cover art by Yuyi Morales is absolutely beautiful. Margarita Engle tells her grandmother's story in a way that helps readers build empathy and understanding of the hardships our ancestors may have faced. Most importantly, The Wild Book looks and feels like a regular novel. The book tells the story of Margarita Engle's grandmother who grew up in Cuba during a time of lawlessness. It has an extremely low word-count, which makes it approachable for struggling readers. Fefa struggles with “word blindness”, aka dyslexia.”The Wild Book” is written as a collection of poems that together tell a complex and engaging story. This is a book for middle grade readers that tells the story of Fefa, who grows up in turn-of-the-century Cuba. When I was a brand new teacher, I once had a third grade student tell me to “hold the book steady, Teacher, because the letters are moving.” This was a major red flag! Ever since, I have been on the hunt for resources to help me better understand dyslexia, which was what my student struggled with.That’s why I was so excited to read “The Wild Book” by Margarita Engle. ![]() ![]() One of our clients was Harlequin – the publishing house that owns Mills & Boon – and an author on their books told me it was her favourite novel. ![]() The only time The Magus has been on my radar since beginning my challenge, was a number of years ago when I was working for a boutique PR agency in Chiswick. ![]() Two of them were sic-fi a genre that I don’t think I’ll ever be a fan of, one of them Ulysses – a book cited by many as one of the most lexically dense novels ever written, and the fourth and final was The Magus, a book I knew almost nothing about. With the exception of Lord of the Rings – a book I hope to enjoy given its top ranking on the list – the remaining four certainly didn’t fill me with joy. I had all but written off the final five of the BBC Big Read. ![]() ![]() As Poirot's final exercise in the use of his gray cells began to wind down, I felt a pang of regret that Poirot's life was coming to an end and felt for Hastings as his life must move on without his friend.
