We love wayward children in literature. Not so much in life. When Sally Rippin discovered her child was struggling to read, the best-selling children?s author assumed it would sort itself out over time. She couldn?t have been more wrong. Her son?s dyslexia and ADHD went undiagnosed for years, leaving him further and further behind his peers, and labelled as ?difficult? by an education system that couldn?t easily cater to neurodivergent kids. And by the time Sally learned how to advocate for her child, it was ? almost ? too late.

Edition Paperback
A compelling, surprising and incredibly timely exploration of neurodiversity and how children learn ? or fail ? to read, through the lens of a parent and a best-selling children?s author.
Rippin has sold more than ten million books worldwide and created numerous best-selling series such as Billie B Brown, Hey Jack, Polly and Buster and School of Monsters. In her first book for adults, she skilfully weaves together research and interviews with literacy experts with her own experiences parenting her neurodiverse child, and crafts an incisive, deeply vulnerable and yet reassuring guide for parents needing help kickstarting their own children?s reading journeys.
