My Thirteenth Winter
by Samantha Abeel
Have you ever had trouble figuring out a tip at a restaurant? Or following directions to a new place? For Samantha Abeel, who has a math-related learning disability called dyscalculia, each of these seemingly simple acts can feel next to impossible.

Excerpt:
I sit cross-legged on the edge of my bed. My mom sits on my floor with the flash cards fanned out in front of her. I am bored with math in school and bored and disappointed that my mom has decided to make me practice it at home. She, however, is excited by the prospect of working on math with me.

This was a great book to read, it must have had been so hard for Samantha to go through with all of that.

I loved this book! It's so insightful, and it made me understand her feelings so well... I finished this book almost instantly and then reread it. I loved it!

I had to choose a non-fiction book to read for my science class and do a report on. I am very glad I read this book because it helped me realize what some people are going through and that I should be happy for the little things I can do that some people may struggle with.
