chapter book – book 1 in a series – witty and really entertaining – reminds me of the “Daisy and the trouble with …” books

It’s a biographical book by an autistic author written for middle grade children.
(Yes, we did say we wanted books that don’t focus exclusively on a single diversity aspect, however, this story is authentic, so I decided to post it here.)
It has cartoony bits in it, photos, drawings, … and is therefore fun to read, but is still a chapter book.
