Recommendations for kids:
I recently read the first two books of the Hank Zipzer series, written by actor Henry Winkler. Written about a 4th grader in New York City who is diagnosed with a learning disability, this a great series for young children and even for adults. While Hank, the books main character, has characteristics of having dyslexia, this is never formally mentioned in the first two books. Even if you don’t have dyslexia yourself, there is plenty to relate to in the story, even as an adult. I highly enjoyed the first two books!
