Ally n'aime pas l'école. Quand elle essaie de lire ou d'écrire, les mots semblent juste danser et elle n'y arrive pas. Son professeur ne la comprend pas et les méchantes filles se moquent d'elle. Lorsque son enseignante part en congé de maternité, le monde d'Ally change et c'est à cause de M. Daniels. Il n'est pas comme les autres. En fait, il ne ressemble à personne qu'Ally ait jamais rencontré.

"When Mr. Daniels looks in her direction, she stops like she has an on/off switch. When he looks away, she laughs at Albert again.”This means that Shay is very good at looking like a good kid in front of adults, and becomes mean the second they aren't looking.
"But no matter what, don’t give up. Because, every once in a while, a pawn becomes a queen.” This means that even those who feel small and unimportant can be the leaders.
“I stand and walk toward him like the floor will swallow me up.” This means that Ally is so apprehensive that she walks towards Mr. Daniels as if she's walking towards danger.
