Finding My Voice (Frankie's World 2) - Aoife Dooley

How do you find your voice when everyone around you is telling you to be quiet?

Finding My Voice is the follow-up to Aoife Dooley's award-winning graphic novel, Frankie's World. Providing a unique perspective on autism and told with humour and heart, it's about speaking-up and standing out when you feel different. 

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?
