Description
A Children’s Book Book Council Spotlight selection!
A heartwarming middle-grade debut with autism representation and a musical flair.
Maya lives and breathes musicals. When her chance to finally be a part of the summer musical program at the community theater comes up, Maya is convinced she will get the lead. After all, who knows The Drowsy Chaperone better than she does? However, things don’t turn out exactly the way Maya’s planned, and the summer turns out to be jam-packed with problems: dealing with her best friend’s move, her parents’ busy jobs, and—since her autism diagnosis—the ongoing puzzle of how to be Maya in Public. But perhaps most important of all, Maya has to figure out how to play the part that truly feels like her own.
Advance Praise
"A wonderful book . . . authentic autism representation shines on every page." —A. J. Sass, Sydney Taylor Honor award-winning author of Ellen Outside the Lines
"A winning and insightful portrait of a girl with big dreams. Maya Plays the Part deserves a standing ovation." —Cary Fagan, award-winning author of Hans Christian Andersen Lives Next Door
“Maya, like all of us, is messy. She can be overconfident, inflexible, and unfair to her friends. But she’s also passionate, hardworking, and struggling to cope in a world not built for her. . . . A highly recommended read, for autistic and allistic readers alike.” —Meg Eden Kuyatt, author of Good Different
"A charming and relatable middle grade story. . . . This former drama kid and autistic girl loved it!" —Jackie Khalilieh, author of Something More
