"Look Mom, I’m the Dumest One in My Clas!: One Boy’s Dyslexic Journey" by Sky Rota
| Website |
My name is Sky Rota I’m 13 years old. I wrote my book to raise awareness about kids who have ADHD & dyslexia like me. Lots of us Learn differently and have been misunderstood in school & bullied for being different.
This is my story of being bullied by my classroom teachers when I was diagnosed with dyslexia & ADHD & my fight back. I'm trying to raise awareness so I can help other kids not go through what I went through and let them know they aren't alone.
Look Mom, I’m the Dumest One in My Clas is the true story of nine-year-old Sky Rota, who during the fourth grade discovers he is severely dyslexic, a disorder Sky and his parents aren’t familiar with.
Sky and his parents quickly learn dyslexia comes with as many gifts as it does challenges. Hopeful that his school would be understanding and help him embrace and develop his unique methods of learning, they soon realized that they would have to fight for him.

In the blink of an eye, the life we lead today became history: the infrastructures of modern American life ceased to exist. Cities, nations and governments are no more .

Those who remain seem to operate on opposite ends of the moral spectrum.
