Sally Gardner is an award-winning author. As a student, she was branded un-teachable and expelled from various schools, until she was eventually diagnosed at the age of twelve as being severely dyslexic. She is now an avid spokesperson for dyslexia. Dyslexia is like a Rubik s Cube, she says. It takes time to work out how to deal with it, but once you do, it can be the most wonderful gift. Sally Gardner lives in London.
