Description
An estimated 13 million students in the United States have dyslexia, a neurologic disorder that impairs reading. Reading quickly and accurately is often the key to success in school. Without it, many dyslexics struggle and fail. Some, however, go on to achieve wild success. How? In this true story, dyslexic high school student Aidan Colvin decides to ask them. Over the course of one year, he writes 100 letters to successful dyslexics. He doesn't expect anyone to write back, and is genuinely surprised when people do. This book features letters from Writer John Irving, Arctic Explorer Ann Bancroft, Surgeon and CEO Delos Cosgrove, Sculptor Thomas Sayre, Poet Phillip Schultz and others. It also features conversations with Comedian Jay Leno and Filmmaker Harvey Hubbel. This is a story about growing up, fostering grit and humor in the face of challenges, and seeing one's differences in a new light. It is also a story about the importance of heroes -- for kids like Aidan, but also for anyone. Throughout the book, Aidan shares tips that have helped him succeed in the classroom. Aidan was awarded the 2016 Remy Johnston Merit Award by the International Dyslexia Association. Since then, he has spoken to over 2500 students, teachers and parents across the country about the lessons he learned over the course of this project. This second edition provides a layout and Dutch font optimized for struggling readers. While the page count increased from 107 pages to 152 in this edition, the actual content did not.

About the Author
Sixteen-year-old Aidan Colvin prefers button downs to muscle-tees, White Collar over The Walking Dead, driving a Mini Cooper over his mother's minivan, and the color blue. He likes dogs more than cats, Sourpatch kids over Reece's peanut butter cups, rowing over running, and thinks short people get a bad wrap. After you put down this book, he encourages you to listen to the song "Somewhere Over the Rainbow," because you know what? Through this project, he's found that sometimes dreams do come true.
