Just Call Me Stupid is a children's novel by Tom Birdseye, published in 1993. [1] [2]
Patrick is traumatized since his father would keep on calling him stupid and locking him in a closet. This led him to have troubles reading by fifth grade, leading his teachers and school bullies to also call him stupid. This is about to change thanks to a kind teacher, and the encounter of Celina, a neighbor and a classmate, whom he met once he was playing chess by himself in the park. Celine starts reading to Patrick and asks him to tell her a story that she secretly records, submits to a contest behind his back, and wins a trophy. Patrick gets furious, but this opens the path for Patrick to face his fear of being dumb and unlocks his pleasure for reading. [3]
