About the book
Fish in a Tree is a middle-grade novel from 2015 about Ally Nickerson, a sixth grader who has moved from school to school because of her father's military service. Ally cannot read, and she has learned to hide this through misbehaving, pretending to be sick, and finding ways to dodge any written work. When a substitute teacher, Mr. Daniels, arrives, he sees past her disruptions to her creativity, artistic talent, and skill with mathematics. The story explores learning differences, belonging, and the idea that intelligence takes many forms.
