Summary/Abstract: The paper tackles a linguistic approach to Lynda Mullaly Hunt’s Fish in a Tree to underline how the readers can better interpret and perceive the protagonist’s disorder, called Dyslexia. This book offers to the reader considerable shreds of evidence of the “mind style” (Semino,2014: 282) of a middle-school student, Ally, who has cognitive potential despite the fact that she is suffering from dyslexia and which turns her into a trouble making child who finally succeeds to surpass her difficulties.
