In the book Fish in a Tree I think that Ally is misunderstood. I say this because she is not telling the teacher that she can’t read! The teacher could help Ally read, it’s better than keeping a useless secret. I find Keisha to be a good friend. Because she is always trying to help Ally with her problems. I think Shay and Jessica are stupid. They always bully her. But Mr. Daniels is awesome because he is being really nice to Ally. I don’t really find the story authentic. Because in the book, Ally has never got caught not knowing how to read for years. I mean the teacher will call on you to read randomly. What do you do? Try to read. But what does Ally do in order to not get caught?
