From the bestselling author duo behind Can You See Me? comes this
exceptional portrayal of autism diagnosis, with diary entries by
12-year-old autistic author Libby Scott. Taking place before Can
You See Me? and Do You Know Me? this standout prequel follows Tally
through her autism diagnosis in her final year of primary school.
Ten-year-old Tally had high hopes for Year 6. Being in the top
class at school means a whole host of privileges, but even better
than that is the school production - and Tally is convinced she'll
win the lead role. But at home, things aren't going so well. Mum
and Dad have been making Tally feel pressured and upset, and Tally
wishes things didn't bother her so much - but they do, and
sometimes she feels so misunderstood and frustrated, she could
explode. Then Tally's mum and dad tell her about something she's
never heard about before. Something called autism. And everything
changes. The third book written in collaboration with Libby Scott
& prequel to the bestselling Can You See Me? When Libby's mum
shared a short piece of Libby's writing online it soon went viral,
with tens of thousands of people saying that Libby's writing helped
them understand autism for the first time This fictionalised
portrayal of a young autistic girl is written by Rebecca Westcott,
in close collaboration with Libby Scott, making it a truly original
and inspirational book that will give readers of all ages a deeper
understanding of what it's like to be autistic Perfect for fans of
The Goldfish Boy, Wonder and The Curious Incident of the Dog In the
Night-time PRAISE FOR CAN YOU SEE ME 'This is a powerful and highly
relatable story about fitting in and being yourself. Tally's diary
entries give an authentic insight into one girl's perspective of
being autistic, and smashing a host of common assumptions and
stereotypes about autism as we see Tally's potent sense of humour
and her deep empathy.' Booktrust 'Recommended for readers with
autism who will feel genuinely seen and for those desiring to see
others more clearly' Kirkus
