Synopsis

Shenanigans, struggles, strengths and special friends! Revealing the heart of an upbeat, boisterous fifth grader working hard to hack the reading code. 
Hacking the Code is a fun, friendship-centered story that shows how every brain works differently, and how we all have different strengths.
Kees is good at many things such as science, fixing things, making friends, and pulling pranks. However, because of his dyslexia, he is not so good at spelling and writing! After playing another sly prank on the teachers he ends up having to write an essay about the hardest thing he’s ever done. His friend writes it in no time, but Kees can't get anything on paper. His secret friends group is determined to help him, but in the end it is his grandpa with all his wisdom that helps Kees on its way. Will he be able to pull it off? And how on earth did he, a dyslexic kid, end up winning the highest honor at school? 
This relatable, illustrated chapter book, brings to live the journey of a dyslexic kid in a story that highlights perseverance, creativity and the power of true friendship. 
For children ages 6 - 12, but adults also cherish the book and everyone learns from the empowering fun-to-read story. A free Lesson Plan & Activity Guide is downloadable on the iCarepress website.
