Role Model

媽媽成為全國最重要的政治人物後，艾莉兒一夕之間成了「總統的女兒」，全國關注的焦點。大家都說她應該成為自閉症青少年的榜樣，但她只想安靜地當自己。

朋友開始變得陌生，說話變得困難，世界變得好大──卻沒有容身之處。

這是一個關於十三歲女孩如何在眾聲喧嘩中，找回自我聲音的故事。溫柔描繪成長的不安與勇氣，也寫進了那些無法被簡單定義的青春心事。

From the award-winning author of A Kind of Spark comes a new heartfelt and timely novel for middle-grade and teen readers.

Aeriel Sharpe doesn’t want to be anyone’s role model. But, when her mother is elected to be the most important politician in the country (yes, that one), she is thrust into the spotlight. With the world’s eyes on her, friends don’t seem that friendly and she feels trapped by everyone’s expectations.

They want her to be the voice of every autistic teenager, but Aeriel must find a way to speak for herself…

It’s not easy being thirteen… and it’s even harder when you’re the most famous teenager in the country
