This award-winning, poignant drama centers around Megan, a young girl coping with the learning challenges associated with dyslexia and ADD. She encounters the personification of her struggles in a dream-like world, where her journey provides a realistic look at the burden of being a student with learning differences. It’s a world filled with embarrassing read-alouds, late papers, missed assignments, and forgotten homework. As her struggles reveal their true nature, we are left with an uplifting look at the unique strengths these individuals possess.
