Ants Across the Page

More about the book

"We were doing okay until my dad bought us a woman."Oh, wait. I'm not supposed to use the word bought. He hired us a woman. Her name was Maggie, and I knew we were in trouble from the beginning..." Ants Across the Page is a story of the 1960s told from the perspective of an undiagnosed dyslexic eleven-year-old boy, Luke, who tries to spruce up his father so he can win the heart of a woman they refer to as "the sarge" behind her back. In a nutshell, whether you're a kid whose letters move on the page or an awkward man with tractor grease under his fingernails- there's always hope.
