Wonderful book. The second amazing book in Tally series! Eleven year old Tally us about to start year seven. Which means new places, new people and new challenges and it can be a daunting prospect for anyone. But for Tally, it seems even worser. As she enters this new school, she realises she is autistic and learns that people like you when you try to be like them. She tries that, but it doesn't work out for her. At the starting of the book, it highlights how Tally and her sister enjoy going to the fair, how Tally would get everyone late just to save a worm, how she struggles trying out her new school uniform, her first day of year seven when her friends promise to look out for each other but they betray her and Tally gets bullied by a boy called Luke who harasses her, but at the end of the book, he sends Tally an apology letter and steals her tiger mask. Tally doesn't go to school after that, and realising that the family had a very serious conversation around the dinner table when Tally interrupts for a glass of juice, she discovers that the neighbor is unwell and it's their responsibility to look after her dog...Tally looks after the dog very much!! Also, the fact where it was mentioned about PE struggles and drama classes where there is one teacher who Tally admires the most, who understands Tally and knows she has autism. Also, the ending of the book where Dad gets taken to hospital and Tally is on a mission to rescue their dog and go to the night fair with her friends. .....It is such an awesome adventure! At the end, when Tally makes a new friend named Aleksandra....and they both make such good friends! Tally masks her autism, but alot of people are uncomfortable around her. They don't understand her and Tally wishes that everyone could understand her and know what she is going through. At the end of the book, she tries not to mask her autism and learns that everyone is different. So just be you.

This is the best book ever. It features the story of 12 year old Tally going to her school camp. Where she has many worries, her dog, one week without her mum, dad, sister, phone and most of her teddies! Then she gets on the bus with her friend, Aleksandra and she gets informed that her favourite teacher was not going on the trip, instead, the teacher she didn't like was going with her on the trip. Also, when she reached the camping site, she was bunking with her ex-friends and a mean girl from another school who bullies Tally because of her autism and rejects her. Tally makes new autistic friends like her Jade and Gory. Personally, Jade was my favourite character of the book as she knew the most about cats!!! I love cats, anyway! I got to learn more from her. Gory was nice, but a bit mischievous at times. I hated the starting when Skye read out Jade's personal letter and shared it with everyone, Tally got accused for the stealing, and the end when Tally helped Skye with the activity. I loved the end when Gory takes them on a big swing near the beach. I truly imagined the scene in front of me and it was the best! And at the end when Tally returns home from her school trip. It was truly a great book!! Then at the end of the book, Tally learns to stand up for herself and find her true friends. And will she ever?

The book features the story of ten year old , a year six ordinary schoolgirl.Tally Adam's. She is looking forward to the summer production, and she is convinced she will win the lead role. She just needs a bit of luck and focus extra hard on fitting in. But, at home. Things aren't going so well. Mum and Dad have been making Tally upset and have meltdowns. But Tally wishes things don't annoy her too much. But they do, and sometimes she feels she can curl up into a ball forever. Hiding forever and explode. But one day, the book explains the story of the family on a assessment and diagnosis. But, one night, Tally's parents tell her about something she has never heard before. Something called autism. And everything changes.

Best book ever read. Read all of the four books in the series " Ways To Be Me " , " All The Pieces of Me, " Can you see me and ofcourse do you know me? This book tells the story of twelve year old Tally in year 9. Everything seems to be changing as she and her friends get older. Layla leaves school and she has to spend year 8 with lucy and aayesha.
