Book description
(View Image) (View Image) New York Times bestselling author Kami Garcia has returned with a middle grade graphic novel about the struggles of a game-loving girl who gets diagnosed with dyslexia and her support network that helps her along in the journey. Stella knows fifth grade will be the best year ever. Her closest friends, Emiko and Latasha, are in her class and they all got the teacher they wanted. Then their favorite television show, Witchlins, announces a new guidebook and an online game! But when the classwork starts piling up, Stella struggles to stay on top. Why does it take her so long to read? And how can she keep up with friends in the Witchlins game if she can't get through the text-heavy guidebook? It takes loving teachers and her family to recognize that Stella has a learning difference, and after a dyslexia diagnosis she gets the support and tools she needs to succeed. Bestselling author Kami Garcia was inspired to write this special book by her daughter's dyslexia journey, her own neurodivergent experience, and the many students she taught over the years. Mixed-Up shows that our differences don't need to separate us. To make reading as comfortable as possible for dyslexic readers, the book has been lettered in Dyslexie. Review"Mixed-Up is sweet, fun, and important-a cozy blanket for those of us with learning differences. I wish I'd had this book when I was growing up with dyscalculia." - Hope Larson, New York Times bestselling & Eisner-winning cartoonist of A Wrinkle in Time and All Summer Long "Mixed-Up carefully and gently discusses the frustrations and struggles of a child living with dyslexia and handles it beautifully with empathy and compassion. This is a must read book." -Dan Santat, National Book Award winner and bestelling author and illustrator of A First Time for Everything "Here's what I love about this middle grade graphic novel: The pacing, the length-just perfect-the easter eggs, the magic, and Brittney Williams' art. Kami Garcia has written a very beautiful story about dyslexia, with a very important message about courage."-Kwame Alexander, Emmy Award-winning producer and #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Crossover and The Door of No ReturnAbout the AuthorKami Garcia is a #1 New York Times, USA Today, Publishers Weekly, and international bestselling author and comic book writer, and an award-winning young adult novelist.
