As April draws to a close, so too does World Autism Month. So today, I wanted to feature just a few of the amazing books we have featuring autistic protagonists!

Three teenagers travel from Australia to America to attend the major convention SupaCon. Charlie is a popular vlogger and up-and-coming actress who's there to promote the movie she starred in. Taylor is Charlie's best friend, an autistic and anxious girl who hopes to meet her favorite author Skyler Atkins, the author of the Queen Firestone series. Jamie is their male friend who has a crush on Taylor. Things don't go as planned - Charlie's agent is unable to get VIP passes for Taylor and Jamie, meaning they must spend most of the con without Charlie.
