No Choice: (Dyslexia-Smart)

Dyslexia-Smart: tailored for dyslexic readers but can be read by anyone. The main character is a boy named Craig. His age is not mentioned but he is probably in his early teens. He has a younger sister Lisa. Craig and Lisa have lost their family through death. They have been taken in by distant relatives but it is not a happy situation. Uncle Pete in particular gives them a hard time. Young people whose families have broken up through other reasons may still recognise the difficulties Craig and Lisa have in settling down with a substitute parent they dont get on with. Craig escapes from his troubled life in dreams. They dont solve his problems but they are good dreams while they last. This book may appeal to some older children as well as early teens.
