Though she has a wild right arm, a walker and magic boots she shows her classmates her real strengths. Nobody Knows! by Sarah Yates (1994) Ann has difficulty talking and gets frustrated when nobody knows what she wants. Ann sets out on an adventure to find someone who understands her. She encounters a turtle and other animals who, like her, communicate beyond language. Here's What I Mean to Say… by Sarah Yates (1997) Ann is struggling to learn how to read. Using her foot to work her new computer, she slowly learns to run it and to read for herself. Or is it the angel in her computer that does it all? This book is about the magic of literacy.
