Children with dyslexia can go on to do just about anything—even become a successful author! We sat down with Max Brooks, author of World War Z and The Zombie Survival Guide, at EdRev 2016. In this video, he talks about struggling with dyslexia as he grew up in Hollywood, “the monster” in his own mind, and the advice he’d give other parents of kids with dyslexia.
