Any good chapter books about being different?

[amandapoppins]

Looking for book recommendations for a girl aged 11.., anything about being nerdy, quirky, different etc and how to cope with it!

at the moment it seems like the entire market for this age is awash with books about being different and embracing it and girl power

my daughter just wants to read a book without such earnestness!

so pop in to any book shop or library and you’ll be spoilt for choice!

I see your point! I suppose I should have said, any GOOD ones :)

I'd like a good one for a ND 11 year old boy!

My DD likes the 'Can You See Me?' series, which is co-written by and based on the diaries of an autistic girl.

idealgift and there is an even wider selection of fantastical, whimsical and/or frivolous books available too.

The Percy Jackson stories are about how kids who don't fit in are heroes. He mentions dyslexia and ADHD several times in the first book, which made my ADHDer feel pretty special that it was talked about positively!

Wonder?

Do you think she might like Roller Girl?

I'll look it up, thanks!

Goldfish Boy, about a boy with OCD trapped in his bedroom.

A Kind Of Spark by Elle McNicoll

Shapeshifter series by Ali Sparkes

Anne of Green Gables? Possibly a very early portrayal of a girl with ADHD.

Love A Kind of Spark - thats a good one

Frankie's world by Aoife Dooley has had brilliant reviews. Graphic novel rather than regular novel but sounds up the right street !
