Avi's teachers complained that his writing was messy and careless, but he only later learned that he had dyslexia, which explained his poor spelling, letter reversals, and other sloppy work. He received special tutoring sessions that inspired him to become a writer. His first book was a collection of stories he invented for his son. After winning Newbery Honors for The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle and Nothing But the Truth, Avi won the Newbery Medal for Crispin: A Cross of Lead. • • http://www.adlit.org/authors/avi
