Lights, Camera, Disaster by Erin Dionne

3.0

Quick read for middle readers. I liked Hess and her friends, and the descriptions relating to how she uses her camera to get through life. But I felt like there were flaws, especially how her learning disability was handled by her teachers- if she really had a classification/diagnosis, then she should have strategies and accommodations available to her. Instead, she seemed to be left to flounder around on her own, with no teacher really trying to help her come up with plans to fit her learning style. Middle school kids will probably like the way Hess fights her battles and find much to cheer about, but this is only a so-so story for anyone older than that.
