Description

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
