Description
Award-winning author Jodi Carmichael, who has ADHD herself, affirms and celebrates those who struggle with their uniqueness and triumphantly discover its gifts
It isn’t easy being Louisa Elizabeth Fitzhenry-O’Shaughnessy—especially with dyslexia. She prefers Lou Fox, the dream name she’ll use one day as a famous Broadway playwright. In the meantime, Lou is stuck in fifth grade with Mrs. Snyder, a total Shadow Phantom of a teacher who can spot a daydream from across the room but doesn’t know anything about ADHD. Mrs. Snyder’s constant attention is ex-cru-ci-a-ting. If only she would disappear.
Fortunately, life isn’t all a-tro-cious. There’s The Haunting at Lakeside School, the play Lou is writing and directing for her two best friends. And soon she’ll be a big sister at last. Nothing could ruin the joy of those things...right?

Such a relatable novel for elementary readers. Lou endures struggles that children would quickly connect with including academic challenges, friend issues, and a teacher who picks on her. Her family and friends are great cheerleaders along the way. I can already think of many of my own 5th grade students who would love to read this story.

I am reviewing a copy of The Unique Lou Fox through Publisher Spotlight, Pajama Press and Netgalley:
Louisa Elizabeth Fitzhenry-O’Shaughnessy doesn’t have it easy, especially with Dyslexia. She prefers to go by Lou Fox the name she’ll use one day when she’s a famous Broadway playwright. Lou is stuck on the fifth grade with Mrs. Snyder, a total Shadow Phantom of a teacher who can spot a daydream from across the room but doesn’t know anything about ADHD. Mrs. Snyder’s constant attention is ex-cru-ci-a-ting. Lou wishes she would disappear, but you have to be careful what you wish for.
Life isn’t all atrocious though, there’s The Haunting at Lakeside School, the play Lou is writing and directing for her two best friends. And soon she’ll be a big sister at last. Nothing could ruin the joy of those things...right?
I give The Unique Lou Fox five out of five stars!
Happy Reading!
