"Maple Mehta-Cohen is gifted at many things. She's got a great sense of style. She's a loyal friend. And she's also an excellent storyteller who enjoys spinning tales full of mystery and suspense. To capture all her good story ideas, she even carries a personal audio recorder wherever she goes. But Maple has a secret -- there's one big thing she struggles with. She doesn't know why letters rearrange themselves on the page or flip upside down when she stares at them, but she has always been able to fake her way through school...until now. When Maple has to repeat the fifth grade to work on her reading skills, she is mortified. What will everyone think? On an impulse, she tells her new classmates that she was asked to stay behind as a special assistant to the teacher (because of budget cuts, you know?). Totally plausible, right? Soon Maple is struggling to keep up with the lies, all while trying to fit in with her new fifth-grade friends and worriedly watching her old ones slip further and further away." -- Publisher's description.
