Quotes

‘Razor-sharp observational humour … has the zeitgeisty quotability of a contemporary Roddy Doyle.’

‘How to Be Massive is funny, affectionate and very, very sharp. Almost social history and always great fun’

‘Readers who like quirky, misfit heroes will snap up Dooley’s warm, funny and original graphic novel, drawing on her own experience of growing up autistic.’

“I loved Frankie’s story and could really identify with her character. This is such an amazing graphic novel that represents neurodiversity really realistically.”
