I think the emotional arc of this book was good, but found the story to be lacking.

I LOVED this book so much. It is absolutely spot on.
Can You See Me? is the story of an 11 year old with autism and the challenges she faces starting high school. I picked this up thinking it would be an insightful read as my 11 year old, with autism, starts high school next month. Some of it was very relatable, but at times was difficult to read. It appeared the teachers were initially unaware the main character had a diagnosis (surely not?) and the bully was despicable. Overall, the message of celebrating differences was positive.

An autistic girl starts middle-school, and the reader gets an inside look into what it's like to live with autism, as Tally faces new challenges and tries to fit in. An immersive story, excellent on audio, filled with empathy. My full review & a sample of the audio:
