More about the book:

In this bright and thoughtful middle-grade graphic memoir, Gina examines the fun and difficult parts of growing up alongside her autistic brother, Rob.

New house.

New school.

New best friend?

For a nervous kid who doesn’t like change, it’s a lot to deal with.

And that’s before Gina’s brother, Rob, gets involved.

From stealing Gina’s treats to climbing on the neighbours’ garage roof, Rob has a knack for causing chaos. Gina knows he doesn’t mean it, but worries that his quirks might scare off her new friend, Callie. Then again, maybe Gina’s own quirks are enough to drive Callie away!

This heartfelt and irresistible graphic memoir captures the complicated feelings that come from growing up with an autistic sibling who requires substantial support. It’s a story about friendship, family, disability, and the power of Vegemite toast.
