Product Information

Having spent the week talking about neurodivergence in library classes, this new graphic novel is perfect to have a window into someone's life.

Frankie notes that she's happy she isn't wearing nice clothes because her bully is now covered in mud EVEN THOUGH SHE WAS WAIST DEEP IN THE PUDDLE HERSELF JUST A MOMENT AGO?Just as important is a page on how to be a good friend, and a way to discover your own funny superhero name. She'll get on with that as soon as her bullies and school and everything else stop being quite so annoying.

I always feel uncomfortable with storylines like this as I worry that it might encourage children to put themselves in potentially dangerous situations.

While the underlying theme of this book is about Autism it is also about self discovery, self acceptance and about finding your own path while embracing your differences along the way. Frankie czuje, że nie pasuje do reszty, ale jest młodą osobą, więc zakłada, że coś z nią musi być nie tak, bo jest dziwna (słucha rocka🎸, nienawidzi popu, ubiera się na czarno🦹🏻‍♀️). Aoife openly shares her experiences of being diagnosed as Autistic at the age of 27, neurodiversity and how a diagnosis helped her to truly understand herself.On top of that, she gets overwhelmed by loud noises, is scared of everything and constantly has to meet with the hospital or principal.
