Fish in a Tree

Fish in a Tree by Linda Mullaly Hunt

What can I say about this incredible book, except read it.  Fish in a Tree is about a middle school girl named Ally who gets in trouble in school mainly because she's trying to divert attention from herself because she has trouble with reading.  However, when Ally's newest teachers sees the bright, creative student that Ally is she begins to open up and discovers why reading is so hard for her.

This book is not only about Ally struggle to read, but about friendships that are made as well.  The characters in this book will make you laugh, cry, and get mad.  If you're looking for an excellent realistic fiction book, check this one out.
