Ally can't read very well and writing is hard for her too. She finds friends that help with what she does at school and with bullies. Mr. Daniels helps her the best he can by realizing that something is " wrong " with her. This is a great and inspiring book for all people to read.

Review of 'Fish in a Tree' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

Heartwarming story that abounds with stereotypes.

Read this aloud with my daughter and we both enjoyed the humor. Chapters are often short, and that works here. Ally has one teacher and it felt like they were in 4th grade until late in the book when we found out it was 6th. Except for some of Albert's statements, this book could have been set in the 50s. The last chapters wrap up unresolved situations from the book in a too-neat bow. Overall rating from both of us - 3 stars.
