How do you fit in and stand out when you feel different to everyone around you? "I loved Frankie's story and could really identify with her character. This is such an amazing graphic novel that represents neurodiversity really realistically." Libby Scott "Aoife Dooley captures Frankie's autistic experience with great care, humour and love." Lizzie Huxley-Jones "A fun and relatable read about awkwardness, self-acceptance, family and friendship." Sarah McIntyre "Unique and often funny ... I cheered Frankie on through her journey." Sue Cheung Frankie knows she's not like anyone else in her class: she's different, but she can't quite figure out why. Is it the new freckle on her nose, or the fact she's small for her age? Or that she has to go to the hospital sometimes? Everyone else seems to think she's weird too, and they make fun of her at school. Frankie's dad left when she was a baby - maybe he was different too? It would explain why she always feels like an alien. So she and her best-friend Sam, embark on a mission to track him down. A graphic novel offering a unique perspective on Autism, told with humour and heart. Brought to life with glorious colour artwork in a distinctive blue and orange palette. Perfect for fans of Raina Telgemeier.

Perfect for fans of Raina Telgemeier How do you find your voice when everyone around you is telling you to be quiet? Frankie is different, and so is her best-friend, Sam. So when they both start secondary school, it's tough. Particularly when there are so many rules to follow, like: No talking in class! Be quiet in the hallways! Silence for assembly!

You know your one Nikita? You've seen her around town: always within 100 metres of Penneys (where she likes to spend her 'eurdos'), her hair done up in a 'hun bun', sporting her 'masso' runners and her eyebrows on fleek. In How to be Massive Nikita shares her illustrated guide to being massive, from masso make-up to stunnin' accessories, the vital difference between your 'going out' and 'staying in' PJs, as well as life hacks such as places to hide your naggin and how to whiten your runners with toothpaste. Through her popular Instagram account Your One Nikita, illustrator Aoife Dooley has made the spicebag part of our everyday language. Informed by her experiences growing up in Coolock and affectionately parodying fiery working-class Dublin women, it provides the inspiration for her hilarious and brilliantly observed first book, How to Be Massive. C'mon ya pox, buy the book! 'Razor-sharp observational humour ... has the zeitgeisty quotability of a contemporary Roddy Doyle.' The Irish Times 'How to Be Massive is funny, affectionate and very, very sharp. Almost social history and always great fun, this book is, well, massive.' Roddy Doyle
The perfect Irish gift for the littlest one in your life. Learn to count with iconic symbols of Ireland: shamrocks, harps, hurleys, Irish dancers (and no snakes!) Colourful and fun, with gorgeous illustrations from Aoife Dooley, Ireland's favourite young artist and comedian (author of How to be Massive), this makes a perfect Irish gift for the littlest one in your life.
