About this deal

One thing I loved about Frankie's story is that, while it shone a light and gave a great perspective on neurodiversity, it also reiterates the fact that Frankie does have all of the same tribulations and worries of any other 11 year old; she may have her own specific challenges to face, but she isn't as different as she might think.

Before bringing in the construction crew, the Heffleys attempt to do minor maintenance and repairs themselves—during which Greg fails at the work in various slapstick scenes. The author uses this as a device for dark humor, which is common in many stories, but please be aware of it in case the middle grade reader is currently experiencing grief or raising many questions about death. Explore our pick of the best children's books in February 2022 – from thrilling escape rooms to the surprising adventures of a crisp packet, there's something for every reader to enjoy! But really all she is different – neurodivergent, though it is not until nearly the end of the book that Frankie gets an insight into why she views things differently.Polecam wszystkim, a przede wszystkim czytelnikom w wieku 8-12 lat, bo proces dorastania jest jednym z trudniejszych momentów w życiu, więc warto podpatrzeć, jak radzą sobie z nim inni.

Frankie and her friend are on a field trip and jump in a giant mud puddle up to their waists right before Frankie's bully appears to harass Frankie. The artwork is playful, the dialogue is perfect for preteens, and the topics raised are modern and relevant.

This review was written by Roy James I work as a librarian across two primary schools, and I tutor English Literature and Language at a secondary school. Once the professionals are brought in, the problems keep getting worse: angry neighbors, terrifying problems in walls, and—most serious—civil permitting issues that put the kibosh on what work’s been done. Sue Cheung Frankie knows she's not like anyone else in her class: she's different, but she can't quite figure out why.
