From the award-winning author of A Kind of Spark comes a new heartfelt and timely novel for middle-grade and teen readers.
Aeriel Sharpe doesn’t want to be anyone’s role model. But, when her mother is elected to be the most important politician in the country (yes, that one), she is thrust into the spotlight.
With the world’s eyes on her, friends don’t seem that friendly and she feels trapped by everyone’s expectations. They want her to be the voice of every autistic teenager, but Aeriel must find a way to speak for herself…
It’s not easy being thirteen… and it’s even harder when you’re the most famous teenager in the country.
