Building Wings: How I Made It Through School

This short, simply written, true, first-person book tells how an ordinary boy growing up in Pennsylvania in the 1950s overcame a reading disability and went on to a successful life. It's meant to be read by boys (especially, but also girls), around ages 9 up I'd say, who struggle to read.

For many readers, it's likely to be the first entire book they ever read and enjoy reading! Take Me With You When You Go
