Good Different by Meg Eden Kuyatt

This was such a great book. It’s a novel in verse starring Selah, an undiagnosed autistic girl who follows her ‘rules for being normal’ to the letter. Selah loves dragons. Like, LOVES them. But she can’t talk about dragons with other people because that might be weird. She has to pretend to understand when the other girls talk about boys, and she has to run to the bathroom and calm down before she can go back to class. Selah doesn’t know why she’s different from everyone else. The only person who gets her is her grandpa, Pop. Selah discovers she might be autistic, and starts to fight for her needs, and realizes…there’s nothing wrong with her. This is a really great book for neurodivergent and neurotypical people alike. Five stars from me!
