Description
Finding My Voice by Aoife Dooley is a two-colour graphic novel about speaking up and standing out when you feel different. It's perfect for fans of Raina Telgemeier.
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?
Finding My Voice offers a unique perspective on Autism, told with humour and heart. It's brought to life with glorious colour artwork in a distinctive blue and orange palette, making it perfect for fans of Raina Telgemeier.
