Tilly is a bit of a puzzle. She's struggling at school, she really doesn't like surprises, she isn't sure if she's a girl or a boy, and she just doesn't want to make new friends. Why is it such hard work to try and understand people, or for them to understand her? This poignant story maps the entire childhood of a bright young girl with autism. Growing up undiagnosed, she finds life increasingly difficult and confusing. Unable to communicate her thoughts and feelings, she retreats further into her own world while her family grows evermore perplexed and concerned. When a psychologist finally explains what makes her special, they can stop focusing on the problems and start to navigate a new way forward for Tilly. With vividly expressive illustrations and minimal words, this story is a valuable and accessible tool for helping children aged 7-13 and their families understand female autism, and will also be immensely helpful to readers interested in understanding better how autism manifests in girls. Honest, positive, and ultimately hopeful, it is inspired by the real childhood of Helen Bates's daughter Rachel, who also writes about her experiences on her blog www.agirlliketilly.com.

A twisting tale featuring a calculating marquess, a marriage of convenience, and a touch of mystery from the New York Times–bestselling author. Why would the Marquess of Heppleford marry someone like Tilly—plump, penniless, and paid companion to a deeply unpleasant duchess?

Tilly, unfortunately, is unaware of the real reason this highly eligible bachelor wants her as a wife—and is heartbroken when she learns the truth. But when he comes back from Paris, he will be shocked to discover that his plain bride has made herself over into a seductive, sophisticated beauty bent on revenge—all while danger lurks in the shadows . . . “A romance writer who deftly blends humor and adventure.”—Booklist
