Professor Thomas Cat's Guide to Understanding the Human Brain: The Dyslexia Files

Professor Thomas Cat is an expert brain scientist! He's spent years learning all about how to control—er, understand—the human brain.

He has a very thorough presentation put together to show other cats just how the human brain works, and how they can use that to . . . nevermind. Today's dyslexia!

But Ava actually has dyslexia, so she has a few things to add. Professor Cat's presentation does a good job focusing on the science, but what about what it's really like to live with dyslexia? She and her dolphin sidekick step their way out of his presentation to give him some (unasked-for!) notes. Between Ava's personal experience and Professor Cat's science, they might just get close to rounding up all the information that a kid with dyslexia needs to succeed . . . that is, if world domination doesn't get in the way. And if Dolphin doesn't press that mysterious secret button.

With an emphasis on empowerment, encouragement, and the hidden strengths of kids with dyslexia, this graphic novel demystifies brain science and provides actionable tools. Included is a list of resources and profiles of several famous people with dyslexia.
