St Michael's - Frankie's World

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS BOOK IS A DONATION TO ST MICHAEL'S!
 
Full of heart and dynamic illustration, Dooley's graphic novel offers an authentic and engrossing window into living with autism as Frankie and her best friend Sam set off on a mission to find Frankie's absent father.
 
How do you fit in and stand out when you feel different to everyone around you?
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.
