nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - In the summer of 1963, a five-year-old boy with a speech impediment and undiagnosed ADHD crossed the U.S. from coast-to-coast-to-coast in the back seat of an overloaded Simca. His older brother was already slotted for greatness. His older sister could see music as color. He was pegged as The Dumb One in both senses of the word. The one nobody noticed.So he watched, and listened, and learned. Then somewhere between the Jim Crow South and Route 66, between an Uncle still taking photos over Cuba and a pair of Missouri mobsters who wouldn't scam a kid, he taught himself to read.Nobody noticed that either - until he spelled out the Bayer Aspirin sign out loud from the top of the Empire State Building. And he began to find a voice.One trip. One experience. One summer.

Learning to Read is the first volume of the Tales from the Backseat trilogy. …
