The Unique Lou Fox
Format: Paperback
Now in paperback! Awardwinning 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 FitzhenryO’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 excruciating. If only she would disappear.
Fortunately, life isn’t all atrocious. 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?
“In Lou Fox, Carmichael has created a refreshing, believable, and funloving protagonist.…Prepare to fall in love with Lou Fox and her supportive cast of family, friends, and teachers.”—School Library Journal
“The book…strikes an excellent balance between acknowledging the that hardships disabilities bring and making it clear that disabilities do not define people—they can even be strengths.…Both humorous and melancholy, The Unique Lou Fox is a touching novel about a young playwright’s selfdiscovery and creative triumphs.”—Foreword Reviews
