di Jodi Carmichael (Autore)

Pajama Press, 2023

Now in paperback! Award-winning author Jodi Carmichael, who has ADHD herself, affirms and celebrates those who struggle with their uniqueness and triumphantly discover its gifts  It isn’t easy being Louisa Elizabeth Fitzhenry-O’Shaughnessy—especially with dyslexia. She prefers Lou Fox, the dream name she’ll use one day as a famous Broadway playwright. In the meantime, Lou is stuck in fifth grade with Mrs. Snyder, a total Shadow Phantom of a teacher who can spot a daydream from across the room but doesn’t know anything about ADHD. Mrs. Snyder’s constant attention is ex-cru-ci-a-ting. If only she would disappear.  Fortunately, life isn’t all a-tro-cious. There’s The Haunting at Lakeside School, the play Lou is writing and directing for her two best friends. And soon she’ll be a big sister at last. Nothing could ruin the joy of those things…right?  “In Lou Fox, Carmichael has created a refreshing, believable, and fun-loving protagonist.…Prepare to fall in love with Lou Fox and her supportive cast of family, friends, and teachers.”—School Library Journal  “The book…strikes an excellent balance between acknowledging the that hardships disabilities bring and making it clear that disabilities do not define people—they can even be strengths.…Both humorous and melancholy, The U-nique Lou Fox is a touching novel about a young playwright’s self-discovery and creative triumphs.”—Foreword Reviews
