As someone who assesses neuro-diverse people on a weekly basis, I know dyslexics not only struggle to read, but are often afraid of reading. The way the words in this edition have been laid out evidently makes a notable difference. The heroine of the story, Daisy, is almost certainly neuro-diverse herself and the narrative relies heavily on dialogue which dyslexics often find easier than tight prose. I hope more publishers follow RedDoor’s initiative.
