Speak Up!
Speak Up! | Rebecca Burgess
1 post | 2 read | 1 to read
For fans of Click and Brave, this touching coming-of-age middle grade graphic novel debut follows an autistic girl who finds friendship where she least expects it and learns to express her true self in a world where everyone defines her by her differences. Twelve-year-old Mia is just trying to navigate a world that doesn’t understand her true autistic self. While she wishes she could stand up to her bullies, she’s always been able to express her feelings through singing and songwriting, even more so with her best friend, Charlie, who is nonbinary, putting together the best beats for her. Together, they've taken the internet by storm; little do Mia’s classmates know that she’s the viral singer Elle-Q! But while the chance to perform live for a local talent show has Charlie excited, Mia isn’t so sure. She’ll have to decide whether she’ll let her worries about what other people think get in the way of not only her friendship with Charlie, but also showing everyone, including the bullies, who she is and what she has to say.

"I like this book because it tells you how much you need to speak of because when you don't speak up things can get stolen and stuff like that. I didn't like that she didn't speak up at first and it made her life more miserable. And then when she spoke up she was basically the queen of the school and she didn't get made fun of again." -Cadee, age 10
