An amazing, touching book
This book was just amazing. I had a clear picture of what was going on during the story. I felt like I was the one dealing with Sahara's problems, instead of her. I too, had a stong love for Miss. Pointy, and my heart also reached out to Daryl! A must read for anyone 9 and up!

very good book...
I loved this book! Somethings I didn't understand like the end about the girl walking around and going by the playground and the trees talking to her was a thing I didn't understand. I thought Sahara is funny and has a heart of gold. The language suprised me. I couldn't beleive it was in my school library! ( I'm in elementary school, my school accepts grades K-6th Grade) Still, it is an AWESOME book and I would love to read it again.

An impressive offering
I was offered this as a choice to use for a book review assignment for a diversity class. I found the book to be a strong voice for students that often go unheard. It offers inspiration for the young reader and insight for those of us that are a bit older. It reminds us that kids' lives are as complex as our own and that each child needs that consideration. I highly recommend this book.

Best children's book!
This is one of the best children's books I have read in my life. It is so cleverly written and I think every parent, teacher and child should read it. It made me laugh, and think at the same time. I am an aide in Special Education and it forced me to think from the child's point of view and get into how the children who are in that position feel. I absolutely recommend this book to EVERYONE!

Touching and Inspirational.
In a world where so many students are labeled, this little girl is "special", as in special ed. Though noone believes she can do it, she wants to write a book, it is her deep desire to show everyone that she is special, just not in the way they see her. This is an inspirational read that is told as if it were a true-life-story. By the end you'll figure out how special Sahara is, and that she did write her book... and you are reading it. The storyline is fantastic, inspirational, and breaks the stereotype of "special ed".

Made Me Think
I really wanted to know just how Sahara and Darrell would get through the 5th grade the second time. I laughed with them and felt every emotion they felt.

The story of a sad and happy girl

I actually JUST (literally) finished this book!
Oh this was a GREAT book. It is somewhat sad, and at times I did want to sniffle. (I know, I know, lol) Its about Sahara, a girl who is put into Special Ed and writes letters to her missing dad and never does her schoolwork. Her mom pulls her out of Special Ed (My little brother is autistic in Special Ed) and she is held back. There is a new teacher, Miss Poitier, (Pwah-Tee-Ay) but Sahara calls her Miss Pointy. The book is a book with a book, and Sahara is the one writing. It inspired me. To start writing a book!

One of my favorite books!
This is one of my favorite books ever. Sahara, the main character, is my favorite female book character of all time. Miss Pointy is awesome too, and I love that Sahara is a writer. She's just like me when I was 10. Every time I read this book, I fall in love with it all over again. The writing style is great, the characters are great, it's a lovely book.
