Little squirrel Gray loves playing with his sisters and friends in
the oak wood. However, after struggling at school Gray feels
misunderstood, stupid, and alone. On the day Gray decides not to go
to school he meets a wise owl who helps him to understand his
challenges and discover a few hidden strengths along the way. There
are around 870,000 school children in the UK with dyslexia many of
whom go undiagnosed. That's potentially 870,000 children feeling
like little Gray. I vividly remember those feelings in school and
sometimes still experience them today in my adult life. I was lucky
and have had my own versions of the wise owl, encouraging me
throughout my journey. I wrote this book because I wish that all
those children have their own wise owl in their lives; to help them
understand their gift and see its strengths, to feel understood,
smart, and supported. We likely all have a child in our lives that
is dyslexic and needs support. Be someone's owl, there can never be
too many.

A sparky middle-grade series from TV comedian Rosie Jones. Perfect
for fans of Jacqueline Wilson and DORK DIARIES. 'Fresh, funny and
ultra cool' - Jacqueline Wilson Hello! My name is Edie Eckhart and
I'm eleven years old. I'm a little bit different. I have a
disability called cerebral palsy, so I talk slowly and fall over a
lot. It's never really bothered me because I've never known
anything else. Edie Eckhart is Excited with a capital E to start
secondary school with her best friend Oscar - the fish to her
chips, the bananas to her custard. But when she and Oscar are put
into different tutor groups on their first day, Edie is devastated.
Who will play secret hangman with her in class? Who will she eat
sausage rolls with? But while she's plotting her reunion with
Oscar, she accidentally gets cast as the lead in the school play.
As Edie discovers a passion for performance, she also finds new
friendships, talents, and dreams. After all, it's easy to shine on
and off the stage when you're Amazing with a capital A. 'This book
is as funny and warm as a sausage roll. I loved it!' Jenny
McLachlan, author of Land of Roar 'Enjoyable and uplifting.
Everyone needs an Edie Eckhart in their lives.' Jen Carney, author
of The Accidental Diary of B.U.G
