Description

*The incredible new book from the author of A Different Sort of Normal!* List of reasons why Izzy Johnston is having a BAD year: 1) Her mum is VERY annoying 2) Her brain works differently to the other kids at school 2) She doesn't have a best friend 3) School is boring (especially without a best friend) But, a starring role in Izzy's favourite TV show, 'The Outsiders', could fix EVERYTHING. So, when Izzy gets to take part in a competition with the COOLEST app - Social Squad - to win a role on The Outsiders, she knows this is her chance! But, when things start to go wrong, can Izzy find a way to make it work? And - maybe - even make a friend of her own? Discover the incredible new story, from the bestselling author of A Different Sort of Normal! Praise for A Different Sort Of Normal 'I REALLY love it. Buy it for your kids, your parents, your grandparents. Mostly buy it for yourself' Holly Smale, author of the Geek Girl series 'This book is what I needed as a kid! Empathetic, joyful and beautifully authentic. I loved it!' Elle McNicoll, author of A Kind of Spark 'She's walking around reading it. She's laughing at it behind closed doors. She's laughing at it at the dinner table.' Amazon customer review 'A funny, fascinating illustrated memoir that conveys - via joyous tangential leaps, vivid doodles and informative notes - how it felt to grow up autistic and undiagnosed' Guardian 'Bless this book's existence! Such charming and fun illustrations, such well-covered topics!' Leo (Goodreads review)
