This is such a fun read! The illustrations and layout make it really accessible for reluctant readers. It is relatable, wonderfully quirky and so much fun. Izzy Dobson is a legend! -- Emily-Jane Clark * author of the bestselling teen series Cringe Club * A delight of a story, full of super relatable tween anxiety, the familiar chaos of family life, a lovable cat who is almost a sibling and a hilariously honest, straight-talking heroine who will warm your heart. You cant help but love Izzy Dobson. -- Cerrie Burnell This brilliant and beautiful book ... is going to spark so many conversations. It is warm and funny and tender in all the right places. I have been completely swept along on the tide of Izzys tween chaos. I know that busy brain, I feel all those emotions, I get the anxiety, I get the need to share, and the second guessing of things you were so certain of. The doodles and artwork make this story super accessible. This whole book feels like a warm hug for young AuDHD people everywhere and to anyone who has ever felt that they do not belong. -- Jennie Henly * book blogger, @edspire on Instagram * Ive been Abigails fan for a long time. I love how she puts her AuDHD experiences into words AND PICTURES and her new character Izzy is the cutest, quirkiest little thing! Izzys story is a work of fiction, but you can tell Abi has written non-fiction before because she managed to pack so much information in between the lines. It will be very eye-opening for neurotypical readers and theyll learn so much! This book made me smile and chuckle and aw soooo many times and Im already looking forward to the next instalment! -- Lottie Saahko * bestselling, award-winning author * Izzys (not) diary veers between hilarious (laugh-out-loud hilarious) and heartfelt. The doodles and collage elements of the book add to the charm, and I loved knowing that Abigail Balfes words will offer validation to AuDHD middle graders, and an understanding for peers and teachers of how to be a great neurotypical friend, ally and advocate. -- Jo, children's book expert * @thelittleliteracysociety on Instagram *
