The debut children's books from Dr Camilla Pang, the youngest person and first writer of colour to win the Royal Society Science Book Prize. Drawing on Dr Camilla Pang's experiences of growing up with autism, this is her unique scientific handbook for growing up perfectly weird and perfectly happy. Today, Camilla is a scientist and an award-winning author, and she is here to share her scientific survival guide with you - so you can grow up with the courage to be yourself, no matter how different you feel or how tricky you might find it to connect. Because the hard part of growing up isn't dealing with other people (their opinions, their popularity or their exam results). No, the hard part is you: learning who you are and what makes you tick. And the really hard part is accepting that it's completely normal to be perfectly weird. In fact, it's essential to growing up happy.
