Gamer for Dyslexia

I purhased Gamer for my son who has Dyslexia and very reluctant reader as he finds it very stressful reading. He has just started reading Gamer and the enjoyment he is getting is unbelievable we have now purchased the rest of your trilogy from Half Way Up The Stairs in Greystones who raved about your books . I just want to thank you for giving a boy who believes he can't read a very positive and enjoyable experience and confidence.

Many thanks
