Sahara's Special

Sahara's Special is a really good book so far of what I have heard. It brings to light a situation that is very real today in the classroom. A girl who has a learning disability, but the mother does not want her to get any help and does not believe that she has a disability. Sahara feels put out because she has to go to a special class and she feels like she is on the outside of everything. I believe that lots of parents do not want their children to get help because the child will be labeled. Parents see it as a bad thing to get help. In the book Sahara just wants to have friends and be part of a group. I look forward to seeing how Sahara handles the new tasks and problems that come at her. I do like the fact that she wants to be a writer, even if she has lots of trouble with writing and doing her homework. I know there is a lot more to come and I look forward to hearing more of the story.
