Description

A coming-of-age story about learning to celebrate yourself — and teaching the world to recognize you, too — perfect for fans of R.J. Palacio's Wonder! "This glimpse into the world of a young autistic girl is astonishingly insightful and honest. Tally's struggles to 'fit in' are heart-wrenching, and her victories are glorious." — Ann M. Martin, Newbery Honor and New York Times bestselling author of Rain Reign. Things Tally is dreading about sixth grade: being in classes without her best friends, new (scratchy) uniforms, hiding her autism. Tally isn't ashamed of being autistic—even if it complicates life sometimes, it's part of who she is. But this is her first year at Kingswood Academy, and her best friend, Layla, is the only one who knows. And while a lot of other people are uncomfortable around Tally, Layla has never been one of them... until now. Something is different about sixth grade, and Tally now feels like she has to act 'normal.' But as Tally hides her true self, she starts to wonder what 'normal' means after all and whether fitting in is really what matters most. Inspired by Libby Scott's own experiences with autism, this is an honest and moving middle-school story of friends, family, and finding one's place.
