Abdul has a brilliant imagination and absolutely loves to tell stories. But when it comes time to write them down on paper, everything goes wrong. His letters refuse to stand up straight, they often face the completely wrong direction, and his pages always end up covered in gray eraser smudges instead of words. Feeling frustrated, Abdul decides that his wonderful stories are just not meant to be written down. He is ready to give up on being a writer forever. Then, a special guest visits his classroom and shares an amazing secret. Abdul learns that even the best writers and the greatest superheroes make messy mistakes. This encouraging journey shows that the best stories come from the heart, not from having perfect handwriting.
