Speak Up!

Rebecca Burgess
(Juvenile Graphic Novels - J GN Speak Up Burgess)


Middle-schooler Mia may struggle to fit in at school, but unbeknownst to her schoolmates, Mia is a viral pop sensation known as "Elle-Q" online. In fact, some of the school bullies that pick on her for her autism are some of her biggest fans online. Mia is proud of who she is, online and offline, and advocates for herself to push for more acceptance and understanding from her peers. Recommended for ages 9–12.
