“I’ve just finished reading and sharing this suburb book featuring such wonderful advocates as Siena Castellon and Connie Guglielmo. With sections on lifestyle, diet, games, apps, mental health, and so much more.

But what did I mean by “I’ve been reading and sharing it? I wanted to make sure it really helps. So I shared it with kids themselves, going through some of the interactive activities and asking for feedback. They all absolutely adored it!

If you’re looking for a book for (neurodivergent and other) young (perhaps struggling) readers, this is the one for you.”

Superheroes and role models to help you love reading, writing, and communicating, no matter what learning challenges you may face. Fun story starters, STEM activities, puzzles, and lessons learned from relatable kids who know what it’s like to struggle in school and let you in on their secrets for success.

As a lifelong educator, I’d be hard-pressed to think of a more positive, proactive, compelling guide for young learners who will be motivated to realize their dreams once they’ve gotten hooked on “Amazing Tales!” Parents, teachers, and administrators take note! This book is a must-have for all the young people in your life.

Honored to be featured by KidsRead2Kids, an effort started by then 15-year-old Alana Blumenstein to encourage kids to read by boosting their confidence and self-esteem (by kids for kids). Something we can all get behind.

Connie Guglielmo, Editor-in-Chief at CNET

What a well-thought-out collection of stories, tips, and activities written by and for kids with learning differences. The positive energy in this book can’t help but make any child want to make the world a better place. This is a must-have book to celebrate differences and recognize that we all have superpowers.

Marion Waldman, Founder/Executive Director, Teach My Kid to Read

An absolute revelation and revolution. This book has everything in it that a young person with dyslexia will need to do life. There are strategies, activities, confidence boosters and personal stories shared by other young people! It’s accessible, engaging and beautifully put together!

In short, this book is a fantastic, practical resource that young people (and their families) can dip in and out of as they move through school, further education and life together.

Dr. Helen Ross, Co-Vice Chair and Trustee, British Dyslexia Association

KidsRead2Kids has always found innovative and creative ways to encourage kids to take charge of their own learning. With this book, they’ve taken it a step further, providing not only support, engaging characters, and advice, but also the opportunity for readers to reflect and interact. A must-read for kids (and caregivers) who want to feel empowered and understood!

Amanda Morin, Neurodivergent Neurodiversity Consultant, author, speaker, and educator

Thanks for sharing this wonderful publication, jam-packed full of insight and information. I'm only 1/3 through it and cannot wait to share with the children, parents, and caregivers I know.
