All the Pieces of Me by Libby Scott, Rebecca Westcott All the Pieces of Me by Libby Scott, Rebecca Westcott

This is an unreservedly readable and universally relatable picture of school life. With a wholly authentic voice, further enhanced by the many intermittent journal entries and ‘news reports’ from Libby Scott (herself an autistic teenager), this is the fourth book created by the impressive Scott-Westcott team. Thoughtful, funny, touching and convincing, this is a book about loyalty, family, friendship, making difficult choices and finding your voice. It also subtly shares some powerful (but never preachy) messages about neurodiversity, the good and bad facets of social media and learning that ‘not-good friends’ are not really ‘friends’ at all.

Co-written by an author and a young autistic person, the book introduces us to Tally and her family on the road to a diagnosis.Tally’s story of family, friendship and growing up will resonate with any young person while also busting many an autism myth.
