Book of the month: A River I Must Be by Kate Foster

A compelling and moving verse novel by award-winning author, Kate Foster, who combines her heart-felt writing with an authentic view of autism and the pressure of masking. And the joy of freeing yourself from that.

Like a river, I must keep flowing, finding a way through if I want to survive. I will adapt no matter the pain this causes me. I will paint on a mask and hide my struggles. But can I be strong like a river?

Rebecca Tapia has started at a prestigious new school and is overwhelmed by the rules and expectations. With her mum away, and her dad facing challenges of his own, Rebecca's only way of surviving is to mask her autism.
