Special Edward by Eric Walters


Special Edward is an ORCA current book. That means it is high interest low vocabulary. I love these books. They are always so good, and when it is written by Eric Walters - even better.
In this book, Walters looks at kids in high school who are part of the special education stream.
The main character Edward is a smart, popular kid, who can't be bothered to work or try at school. When he realizes that when you are considered 'spec ed' you get extra time, scribing and all sorts of other 'bonuses' Edward decides this is what he needs. He starts the process to have himself identified. The thing is, he works harder at tricking the system than he does if he was just to do his school work. Edward learns a lot about himself as a person and as a learner by the end of this book.
