How do you find your voice when everyone around you is

telling you to be quiet?

Frankie is different, and so is her best-friend, Sam. So when

they both start secondary school, it's tough. Particularly when there

are so many rules to follow, like: No talking in class! Be quiet

in the hallways! Silence for assembly!

Frankie doesn't know how she'll manage, because constantly talking

is how she copes. So when she gets the chance to compete in

a Battle of the Bands contest, Frankie couldn't be more

excited. Except, to have a band, you need to have band members. And

to have band members, you need to be good at making friends...

Can Frankie learn to find her voice and stand out?

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.
