Can You See Me is a novel about Tally, a young girl with autism, and her struggles with starting sixth grade. Not only is she starting in a new building with new teachers, Tally now feels like she needs to act "normal" to fit in with her classmates - but what is "normal"? Told in both third person and prose via diary entries, this novel is a middle grade level read inspired by coauthor Libby Scott's own experiences with autism. It's an honest and moving story of friends, family, and finding one's place in the world. I really, really liked this book, it's such a good representation of what it's like to be autistic, from the point of view of someone with autism. I've read a few books in the past from a point of view of a family member who had a sibling who was autistic, but this is the first novel I've read where it's the main character. I adored Tally in this, the authors did an amazing job at writing to where I felt such a connection with her. I was able to understand when she was frustrated and upset and why she reacted the way that she did. I emphasized with her. I also really enjoyed Tally's family. Her older sister, Nell, who is 14, gets frustrated with Tally, as any sister does honestly, but she's still protective of Tally, and even helps Tally, even if she does it in secret. Her parents are also pretty understanding, even if they slip up and forget certain things, they still really try. Tally's Mom especially, you can tell is always trying. This book just came out when I read it, but it's going to be so important. So many kids are going to be seen and understood when they read this. Others are going to have new light shown on their understanding of autism. Please read this book! sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
Eleven-year-old Tally is starting sixth grade at Kingswood Academy and she really wants to fit in, which means somehow hiding her autism, hypersensitivity to touch, and true self, and trying to act "normal" like her former best friend, Layla, who is distancing herself from Tally and her fourteen-year-old sister, Nell, who is always angry with Tally for being different; but as she records her thoughts and anxieties in her coping diary, Tally begins to wonder--what is "normal" anyway?
