Three stories in one volume, each with a predictable pattern, characterisation, and format make this book supportive of neurodiverse readers whilst simultaneously informing the wider audience of neurodiversity. The protagonist, 8-year-old Harriet, has a superpower that enables her to summon dogs from a rescue shelter to help solve problems.
Harriet’s autism is foregrounded, with stimming a central part of her superhero transformation. Her desire for routine and repetition are echoed in the design and development of each story. A simple plot and setting, the inclusion of dot point fact sheets, paw prints and bold pencil illustrations combined with a colourful cover, featuring Harriet’s magic sensory pyjamas, extend the text. This all comes together making this a delightful book for young readers.
