Reach for this book if your child is struggling with school, feeling 'slow' compared to peers, or facing a daunting personal challenge. May B. is a historical verse novel about a girl in the late 19th century who is sent to help a neighbor on the Kansas prairie, only to find herself abandoned and alone in a sod house as winter approaches. Beyond the survival adventure, it is a deeply moving exploration of dyslexia and the shame of academic struggle. It is appropriate for readers aged 8 to 12 who need to see that their intelligence is not defined by their ability to decode words, and that true strength is found in persistence and self-reliance.
