Read the full description
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.
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
