Can You See Me?

Insightful story of a girl with Autism. I really liked the diary entries but felt annoyed how the school was portrayed.

This book made me laugh and cry all at the same time! It tells the story of Tally, an 11 year old autistic girl, through her emotional dairy entries. It is a good look at autism from another point of view and I recommend to anyone who wants to grow their empathy and understanding.

The representation in this book was awfully refreshing to see, a fresh breath from books that blend together due to a similar topic. It revolves are Tally, an autistic 1 1 year old whose story is followed as she navigates her life starting high school. Though the journey to becoming confident in herself was long and winding with many bumps along the way, the destination was amazing and I absolutely loved seeing Tally flourish at the end of the book by standing up for yourself. This novel teaches its readers that just being yourself is powerful, speaking up about your troubles to others can help them understand you and it emphasises the fact that you are unique and there's only one of you. I wasn't a big fan of the authors' combined non-descriptive writing style but the story was amazing and the characters well though out. Thus, I would recommend this book to children 10+. =D

I enjoyed this book so much. it's a heartwarming story that lets you step into an autistic child's mind. Tally is an autistic girl, she loves her life but when she starts year 7 her life goes from happy to sad. ***** 5 stars

This book explains lots about somebody with autism and I appreciate that it was not a neurotypical that made this book because if it wasn't someone autistic who made this book it would have been inaccurate.

This book is about Tally who is autistic over coming her fears of starting a new school as she moves into year seven. This book has described how she was feeling every step of the way, by the useful diary entrys which have inspired me to do my own

If you liked a Kind of Spark you'll probably like this book. It's about Tally, who had recently been diagnosed with autism, starting the local high school. I would definitely recommend this book!

An emotional amazing story, showing the experiences of an autistic girl Tally, who has to cope with being drawn apart from her friends and battling with a horrible bully.

Probably would award 4.5 stars because the parent/school relationship was virtually non existent and therefore not realistic in my view. However, this disconnect probably needed to be the case to provide the drama to make the story work. However, gripping read, great for empathy; this is an intensely emotional story. Ending was refreshing and unexpected. Enjoyed the diary entries by Libby Scott, it added authenticity. Theme of people, regardless of special needs status, not being true to themselves and bowing to peer pressure was nicely explored; Tally and her friends realise life is a two way street and everyone is different with their own challenges. Would recommend.
