"All my life I'd heard how smart I was. That compliment always came right before the bad news that made it clear just how backward I really was. "'You're such a smart girl, I don't know why you can't learn to tell time or learn the difference between b and p or don't know left from right or can't learn to write cursive. You're so scatterbrained! What's wrong with you?'"
"An informative and sensitive coverage of learning disabilities by a woman who remembers vividly what it was like to be an intelligent child who 'just didn't try hard enough.'"
School Library Journal
"The author's own experience with a learning disability is poignantly described in the preface, adding resonance to her subject. Her talent for organizing information has produced an accessible book, but more than that, she offers reassurance."
