Frankie knows she's not like anyone else in her class:
she's different, but she can't quite figure out why.



Is it the new freckle on her nose, or the fact she's small for
her age? Or that she has to go to the hospital sometimes? Everyone
else seems to think she's weird too, and they make fun of her
at school.


Frankie's dad left when she was a baby - maybe he was different
too? It would explain why she always feels like an alien. So she
and her best-friend Sam, embark on a mission to track him down.






A graphic novel offering a unique perspective on Autism,
told with humour and heart.

Brought to life with glorious colour artwork in a distinctive
blue and orange palette.
