Perfect Enough by Meg Eden Kuyatt
From the publisher, Scholastic,
Published June 2, 2026.
The companion novel to the
beloved and award-winning Good Different.
Selah is a dragon.
Or at least, she feels like
one. And she finally figured out how to spread her wings and soar.
Armed with her sensory
tools, her notebooks and poems, and her newfound knowledge about her autism,
Selah is heading to writing camp for the summer. She’s excited to work on her
writing, perform at the final showcase, and to meet more kids like her.
Things aren't so simple
though. As soon as she arrives, she realizes that her bully from home is there
too. Ezra is chaotic, attention-seeking, and always teasing her.
Selah is determined not to
let him ruin her summer. But soon it turns out that it’s not just Ezra causing
problems. . . . As kind and enthusiastic as Selah’s new friends are, they don’t
fully understand her autism and how overwhelming this new environment is for
her.
Friend drama, classes,
overstimulation, and her relationship with Ezra all start to feel like a lot.
But surely Selah can make it through just a few weeks without reaching her
breaking point again . . . right?
Meg’s books need to get into
the hands of all kids and adults. What she writes is relatable and beautiful.
She has phrases that elevate and penetrate the soul.
Plus, she opens a window
into one girl’s autism while presenting other kinds of neurodiverse kids and
adults. Being aware and understanding of what others are dealing with, makes us
all better humans. Compassion for others and oneself. Because sometimes what
you think is not always the truth of the situation. Friendships can be hard to navigate.
I’m trying not to give anything
away! The reality that some things work out and sometimes they don’t is authentic and it helps to know that it’s okay.
