5.0 out of 5 stars A humorous story about a little boy turn hero., 7 Jun 1998
By A Customer
My 10 year old son was diagnosed with dylexia at the end of his 3rd grade year. I ran across Josh:A Boy with Dyslexia in our local library. My son Marcus and I read it together and discovered that Josh and he share alot of the same stories.

Josh is just like any 10 year old boy except he

has dyslexia. This book answers questions you might have about dyslexia in a humorous yet

soft-hearted way. Read Josh's thoughts as he travels through his days. Everything a boy with dylexia must wonder about comes alive on the

pages.

He is a kind-hearted little boy who feels really

content and happy in his home, neighborhood and school. He knows his way around and knows who he can trust. Then right in the middle of the school year, his family has to move to a new neighborhood.

Panic!! Now Josh has new street signs to decode, new kids to break-in and a new teacher to "fool".

There is, of course, a school bully who sets out to make Josh's life miserable. He calls him "retard" and teases Josh about being in the "special" class. But, when the situation arises and the bully needs help he is forced to turn to Josh. Josh becomes a hero to his brother,his father, the police and the bully. But, most of all he becomes a hero to himself. You will finish this book with a smile.

This book is easy reading and is hard to put down.

5.0 out of 5 stars Josh,A boy with Dyslexia, 28 April 2009
By Shelagh Harvey (Italy Rome) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Josh: A Boy with Dyslexia (Paperback)
I read this to my 9 year old grandson who is dyslexic. As the chapters progressed he became ever more interested, and when Josh behaved in ways that my grandson behaved, we grinned at each other. He loved the book, and took it back to Dubai where he lives. I was delighted with his reaction and am now looking for other books where dyslexic children not only can enjoy the story but also relate to it and find the similarity to them amusing.
