In this book Trish didn't know how to read but she snuck it past all of her teachers until she met Mr. Falker in 5th grade. I loved this book becuase it shows how much dedication and passion teachers have for students. Mr. Falker stayed after school and helped Trish learn how to read until she could do it all on her own. Also, children made fun of Trish for not knowing but Mr. Falker showed them that no one is perfect and they can't make fun of her because there are things they can't do. (less)
