Do You Know Me?

Fantastic insight to autism and how it affects children. It also shows the cruel side of others and how these children may be treated which is quite sad!!

'Do You Know Me' is a fantastic book! It's the second book by Libby Scott and Rebecca Westcott and it's about a girl called Tally who is autistic. I would recommend this book to people aged 10-12. I really liked the character of Tally but I also liked her friends Gory and Jade. I have rated this book 5 stars as it is excellent!

This series was recommended by my friend and I thought was great since it was about a girl with autism. My brother is autistic and the book gave me a lot of information and advice on how to help him.

Much like the first book, you're immediately sucked into Tallys world. A must read!

I enjoy these books.

i leraned a lot about atisum

I read this book with such great detail as this book is about autism and it changed my way of how I see and think of autism.
This book is so funny and meaningful as it teaches kids the difficulties of autism and how people with it are treated unfairly to other kids by using humorous language through 12 year old Libby Scott's diary entry's of how she copes with autism and how others need to change the way they view it.
You must read this book so we can change the way autism is seen, which is why it is a definite must read.

Very good and funny at times

It fits in well with Can You See Me and again it really shows us how Tally is feeling. It also helps us learn lots about autism and tells us that people that are on the autistic spectrum are not aliens. They as human as neurotypicals are. Perhaps even more. Who knows???

Good

Another great book. I have enjoyed this series, and feel I have learnt a lot about autism, which will help me in my job as a TA. I would recommend this to other teaching staff as well as UKS2 and KS3 students. I think girls will particularly enjoy this book.

This is another really interesting book about autism. Tally is my favourite character and she must find it reply hard but she copes and makes lot's of new friends .

I loved the first book, 'Can you see me?', and this one did not disappoint.
Highly recommended reading.

I think this book shows how to be real friends and don't judge people by their weak points.

A fantasising story written by Libby Scott and Rebecca Westcott (daughter and Mother) who use Libby's own experience of being autistic to write from the heart. A fictional story following Tally as she copes with everything life throws at a Year 7 high school student but with the added issues of not always understanding the world around you the way others do. This is the second book about Tally and her friends but having not read the first book it was still easy to understand the back story. It is an emotional journey helped with regular diary entries from Tally (which Libby's own views on the world have been able to shape the writing of) that help you to understand how Tally is feeling and processing things and this is where this book stands out. As an adult there is a lot to learn from reading this book. I would highly recommend this book, and will go back and read the first.

I really enjoyed reading this book. I had read the first book, Can You See Me?, and I liked it a lot. I haven't really read many books like these, so they were firsts for me. I found the book incredibly interesting and insightful and even though it was fiction, I found it very factual. My favourite character? I didn't really have one, but if I had to choose, I would probably choose either Tally or Gregory. I would recommend this book to people who would like to learn a bit more about autism and people who like realist stories.

An excellent own voice ND book, the second book from Libby Scott in which the lead, Tally, faces the challenges of year 7.

After reading 'Can You See Me?' earlier in the year, I was looking forward to reading the second book and following Tally's journey through the maze of secondary school relationships and challenges so much so that I borrowed it from a child in my year 6 class as soon as she'd finished reading it!
This was another eye-opening book and as a teacher, (sadly) I feel I have learnt more about autism through reading both of the books by Libby Scott and Rebecca Westcott (and 'A Kind of Spark' by Elle McNicoll) than I have through any training I have received!
The style of this book - told through a narrator and through Tally's diary entries really gives you an insight into the character's thoughts.
Another great success.

it was wonderful i really enjoyed it

It showes what an autistic person has to go through on a daily basis

I really enjoyed the first book and this was good too. I could really understand how Tally was feeling.

Tally has made friends with Alexsandra and is as happy as she'll ever be at school. However, a new obstacle appears: the residential to GoCamp. She is worried and anxious, and when she gets there, she finds herself alone...

This book is perfect for kids aged 8+ who want to learn more about autism.

A worthy sequel to the brilliant Can You See Me. This book provides further insight in to Tally’s world and the relationships that children have with each other. It also highlights the vital role of school residential trips in challenging and providing a level playing field for all children. I love the switch between narrative and diary format and the Tips for Teachers are very handy! A great read.

I absolutely loved this book! It is so intriguing and interesting to read. It is kind of like a diary almost of Tally‘s (an autistic girl) life. I found this really helpful as I have family around me who are autistic and friends. It is actually written by an autistic girl and an author so it really helps you understand their lives and how they see things differently to us. They have little diary sections in some parts written by her and for the rest of the time her life in the view of her. This is the 2nd book in the series and I have read the 1st one already. This is one where she goes on a school trip for the first time in highschool and she finds it really hard but makes new friends and that kind of stuff. Overall I love this book and I think age 7-13 could read it. I think it would be really helpful for everyone to read as it is really informative about autistic people’s everyday hardships.

I liked this book a lot especially when tally arrives back from camp and cuddles rupert

Really good book, carefully written so as to make you hold your breath. Utterly Unputdownable.

Amazing! I really love the series, and I like how you can feel Tally’s emotions with her, and understand her struggles

I found it really interesting! I really like Tally but I like most of the characters in the book.
I would totally recommend it for anyone above the age of 8!
