"Talk about being a blubbery mess at the end of this book. Anyone who has had a special teacher as a child will love this sweet, autobiographical story. I wish the author had written an adult version to tell more about her learning disability and how she overcame it with her teacher's help."
"Thank you, Mr. Falker is about a young girl and her struggle with having a learning disability and the experiences she faces. Tricia, a struggling student, has always had a difficult time reading. This caused her years of being teased by her classmates as well as much sadness. Once Tricia is in fifth grad her family moves to California, where her life changes when she meets her amazing teacher, Mr. Falker. This teacher is determined to help Tricia succeed in reading and boost her self-esteem. This book shows how important it is to believe.
This is one of the most touching books I have ever read. Being a teacher I dream to one day have the type of impact on a student the way Mr. Falker did on Tricia. This inspiring story brings up wonderful opportunities for all types of students to make personal connections. It portrays the wonderful message to never give up and always continue reaching for your dreams. It also shows how one person can make sure an incredible difference in someone's life. This story brings up great topics with student about how crucial it is to respect the way each of us individually learns. Throughout a child's school they will be faced with some sort of challenge or frustration, and this is a perfect story that they can all relate in some way to."
"I really enjoyed this thoughtful book about a girl's (the author's) experience not being able to read and having a teacher reach out to her. It reflects the experience of many kids in schools; it's hopeful."
"What a great book to teach kids about learning at your own pace. I can't help but think fondly of so many of the teachers I've had over the years when I read this book."
