Product Description
A great middle-grade read for all kids -- fun, funny and relatable. Just like Dylan!
My life so far has been pretty awesome.
At home I've got a great family (sure, even my big brother, Jacob, when he's not being a total pain) and my pet legless lizard, Pogo (she can lick her own eyeballs, really). Then there are my friends Yusuf and Gemma, and my best mate, Hannah. In between there's coding, shooting hoops and mixing tracks.
Now it's time for something new -- high school.
When old and new friends collide, a teacher called Grumps is on his tail, and the school talent show looks like turning into a real-life drama, twelve-year-old Dylan discovers his family motto has never been more true -- it's not all about you.

It is the last day of the summer holidays, and Dylan Alcott and his best friend Hannah sit in the backyard enjoying ice cream while chatting about what they imagine Year Seven will be like at Fairwood High School. He is excited that his friends Gemma and Yusuf from primary school will also attend high school with them. He is looking forward to his new adventure but feels anxious about moving to different classes and being able to get around the new school in his wheelchair. This book is an ejoyable, thought-provoking story that encourages children to realise that everyone has struggles and that life can look different for other people.
