From acclaimed Autistic Irish comedian Aoife Dooley comes a fresh and funny debut middle-grade graphic novel about fitting in and standing out. Frankie is different from everyone in her class, and she can't figure out why. She has trouble concentrating, and her classmates tease her for not having a dad at home. To try to make sense of the world, Frankie doodles her daily adventures in a journal. One day, when Frankie sneaks into her mom's room and sees her biological father's name on her birth certificate, she decides to go on a mission to track him down. Could Frankie's father be the key to finding out why Frankie feels so adrift? A unique story told with a light touch and an abundance of warmth and wit, Frankie's World is laugh-out-loud funny and a love letter to daring to be different.

With her second book comedienne and illustrator Aoife Dooley is on a mission. There's been a growing epidemic of poxes and buzz-wreckers everywhere and something needs to be done. What's a pox? Oh, you know them. The man on public transport who opens a filthy chicken fillet roll beside you first thing in the morning, your co-worker who corners you in a conversation about their children for half an hour, the people who saunter into a shop at 8.59 pm when it's closing at 9.00 pm - but fear not, Aoife has a solution for every poxy situation. Aoife's comical, astute observations paired with her brilliant illustrations make How to Deal with Poxes a must-have survival guide because, let's face it, there's always some pox wrecking your buzz on a daily basis.
