An excellent #ownvoices read about life on the autism spectrum. Tally is twelve years old and is one of the most endearing fictional characters that I have met recently. Can You See Me? is about how Tally navigates the every-day realistic challenges of school and family life as an early teenager. Because she is different, she is ostracized and picked-on by her fears. Even her close friend group start to question their friendship with Tally. But this story focuses on Tally coming into her own, as she learns to accept herself and embrace her individuality!

I loved this book and the message that it provides. Similar to Wonder, it teaches readers that we can all be seen and should all be appreciated for what makes us, us!

Plus it's co-written by Libby Scott, an eleven year old girl who has autism herself. And there's a sequel coming in the Winter of 2021. Can't wait to read more about Tally!
