Book Description

Key Selling Points Eight-year-old twins turned private investigators are the main characters in this original and amusing series. The main character struggles with dyslexia but demonstrates various tricks throughout the story that she uses to work with her learning disability. The latest in the Lark Ba detective series, Lark Goes the Distance showcases teamwork and strategy, telling the truth, forgiveness and empathy. Books that include incidental neurodiversity and racial diversity (their family is Korean and Kenyan) continue to be in high demand, and the fact that Lark is not only dyslexic but that each book contains new vocab words she's learning is a real draw for teachers and young readers. Using a dyslexia-friendly font, the book introduces readers to idioms and advanced vocabulary via Lark’s point of view and includes a section at the end that explains the words and figures of speech used. Fast-paced plots, child-friendly intrigue, accessible language and short chapters featuring black-and-white illustrations make this series perfect for emergent readers.
