Ellie Nickerson is a special girl. She is the best in the class to draw, clever, sincere, a great dreamer, but... She has dyslexia, she can not read and write, and it affects her self-esteem, relationships with classmates, learning, life. It's awful when you don't want to make anyone laugh, and they laugh at you. When you most want to feel like everyone else. When doing homework turns into a test. It takes a lot of courage to come to school every day. Ellie and his new teacher challenge him, and eventually realize that the words don't come true just because someone said them out loud. And to think differently than everyone else is very cool. Such people ignite the world.
