Tally isn't ashamed of being autistic. But, starting sixth grade at a new school, even with her best friend Layla at her side, is going to be a challenge. A lot of people are uncomfortable around Tally but Layla has never been one of them... until now. Tally feels like she has to act "normal" though she begins to wonder if fitting in is really what matters most. This story is inspired by coauthor Libby Scott's experiences. It's an honest and moving story about learning to celebrate yourself while teaching the world to recognize you for who you are. --adapted from back cover.
